Solving special nonlinear fractional programming problems via parametric linear programming

A new procedure is developed to solve a generalized linear fractional programming problem. We find the optimal solutions in two steps. First we solve a parametric linear programming problem. Using the results of this step we then define a simple optimization problem in the second step. This yields an optimal value which together with the results of the parametric analysis provides the optimal solutions of the considered fractional programming problem.     

Restoration of efficiency in a goal programming problem with linear fractional criteria

The problem resulting from a goal programming problem with linear fractional criteria is not easy to solve due to the non-linear constraints inherent in its formulation. This paper introduces a simple and reliable test to establish whether a linear fractional goal programming problem has solutions that verify all goals and, if so, how to find them by solving a linear programming problem. This paper also outlines a new technique for restoring efficiency based on a minimax philosophy. An example is presented.     

Linear fractional programming and duality

This paper presents a dual of a general linear fractional functionals programming problem. Dual is shown to be a linear programming problem. Along with other duality theorems, complementary slackness theorem is also proved. A simple numerical example illustrates the result.     

Ranking in quadratic integer programming problems

The present paper develops an algorithm for ranking the integer feasible solutions of a quadratic integer programming (QIP) problem. A linear integer programming (LIP) problem is constructed which provides bounds on the values of the objective function of the quadratic problem. The integer feasible solutions of this related integer linear programming problem are systematically scanned to rank the integer feasible solutions of the quadratic problem in non-decreasing order of the objective function values. The ranking in the QIP problem is useful in solving a nonlinear integer programming problem in which some other complicated nonlinear restrictions are imposed which cannot be included in the simple linear constraints of QIP, the objective function being still quadratic.

Minimising total average cycle stock subject to practical constraints

Silver and Moon (J Opl Res Soc 50(8) (1999) 789–796) address the problem of minimising total average cycle stock subject to two practical constraints. They provide a dynamic programming formulation for obtaining an optimal solution and propose a simple and efficient heuristic algorithm. Hsieh (J Opl Res Soc 52(4) (2001) 463–470) proposes a 0–1 linear programming approach to the problem and a simple heuristic based on the relaxed 0–1 programming formulation. We show in this paper that the formulation of Hsieh can be improved for solving very large size instances of this inventory problem. So the mathematical approach is interesting for several reasons: the definition of the model is simple, its implementation is immediate by using a mathematical programming language together with a mixed integer programming software and the performance of the approach is excellent. Computational experiments carried out on the set of realistic examples considered in the above references are reported. We also show that the general framework for modelling given by mixed integer programming allows the initial model to be extended in several interesting directions.     

求解弱线性双层规划问题的一种全局优化方法

双层规划在经济、交通、生态、工程等领域有着广泛而重要的应用.目前对双层规划的研究主要是基于强双层规划和弱双层规划.然而,针对弱双层规划的求解方法却鲜有研究.研究求解弱线性双层规划问题的一种全局优化方法,首先给出弱线性双层规划问题与其松弛问题在最优解上的关系,然后利用线性规划的对偶理论和罚函数方法,讨论该松弛问题和它的罚问题之间的关系.进一步设计了一种求解弱线性双层规划问题的全局优化方法,该方法的优势在于它仅仅需要求解若干个线性规划问题就可以获得原问题的全局最优解.最后,用一个简单算例说明了所提出的方法是可行的.     

A simple plant-location model for quantity-setting firms subject to price uncertainty

The uncapacitated plant location problem under uncertainty is formulated in a mean-variance framework with prices in various markets correlated via their response to a common random factor. This formulation results in a mixed-integer quadratic programming problem. However, for a given integer solution, the resulting quadratic programming problem is amenable to a very simple solution procedure. The simplicity of this algorithm means that reasonably large problems should be solvable using existing branch-and-bound techniques.

Generation of disjointly constrained bilinear programming test problems

This paper describes a technique for generating disjointly constrained bilinear programming test problems with known solutions and properties. The proposed construction technique applies a simple random transformation of variables to a separable bilinear programming problem that is constructed by combining disjoint low-dimensional bilinear programs.

Integer programming to schedule a hierarchical workforce with variable demands

We consider a hierarchical workforce in which a higher qualified worker can substitute for a lower qualified one, but not vice versa. Daily labor requirements within a week may vary, but each worker must receive n off-days in the week. This problem has been considered by Hung (R. Hung, Eur. J. Oper. Res. 78(1) (1994) 49–57), who discusses a necessary and sufficient condition for a labor mix to be feasible and presents a simple one-pass method that frequently gives the least cost labor mix. We show in this paper that the integer programming approach is well suited for solving this problem: the definition of the integer programming model is simple, its implementation is immediate by using, for example, the Mathematical programming language (MPL) and the integer programming solver XA, the computation times are low (generally a few seconds on a small microcomputer) and finally the powerful of the integer programming approach allows us to extend the model in two interesting directions.     

Another heuristic for minimizing total average cycle stock subject to practical constraints

This paper considers the setting of reorder intervals of a population of items for minimizing the total average cycle stock subject to a limit on the total number of replenishments per unit time, and a restricted set of possible intervals. Silver and Moon have investigated the problem with the use of dynamic programming, and they also proposed a heuristic for solving it. This paper presents a new 0-1 linear programming approach to the problem. Based upon the solution of the relaxed 0-1 linear programming formulation, a simple heuristic is proposed to solve the reorder problem. Limited numerical results using realistic test examples indicate that the new heuristic performed very well for each example.

Decomposition in global optimization

The purpose of this article is to propose a simple framework for the various decomposition schemes in mathematical programming.Special instances are discussed. Particular attention is devoted to the general mathematical programming problem with two sets of variables. An economic interpretation in the context of hierarchical planning is done for the suggested decomposition procedure.The framework is based on general duality theory in mathematical programming and thus focussing on approaches leading to global optimality.     

Lagrangian Approach to Quasiconvex Programing

For a mathematical programming problem, we consider a Lagrangian approach inspired by quasiconvex duality, but as close as possible to the usual convex Lagrangian. We focus our attention on the set of multipliers and we look for their interpretation as generalized derivatives of the performance function associated with a simple perturbation of the given problem. We do not use quasiconvex dualities, but simple direct arguments.     

Extension of some results for channel capacity using a generalized information measure

A new formulation for the channel capacity problem is derived by using the duality theory of convex programming. The simple nature of this dual representation is suitable for computational purposes. The results are derived in a unified way by formulating the channel capacity problem as a special case of a general class of concave programming problems involving a generalized information measure recently introduced by Burbea and Rao [10].Research supported by National Science Foundation Grant No. ECS-8604354.
