Solving the Huff-Based Competitive Location Model on a Network with Link-Based Demand

This paper shows a computational method for optimizing the location of a store on a network in a competitive environment, assuming that consumers probabilistically choose stores following the Huff model (1963) and that the store can be located on a continuum of a network. This method gives the exact optimal solution with the computational order of n _N ² logn _N where n _N is the number of nodes of the network.     

The system of generalized vector equilibrium problems with applications

In this paper, we introduce the system of generalized vector equilibrium problems which includes as special cases the system of generalized implicit vector variational inequality problems, the system of generalized vector variational and variational-like inequality problems and the system of vector equilibrium problems. By using a maximal element theorem, we establish existence results for a solution of these systems. As an application, we derive existence results for a solution of a more general Nash equilibrium problem for vector-valued functions.     

Solving Problems with Min-Type Functions by Disjunctive Programming

We consider applications of disjunctive programming to global optimization and problems with equilibrium constraints. We propose a modification of the algorithm of F. Beaumont for disjunctive programming problems and show its numerical efficiency.     

Portfolio optimization under D.C. transaction costs and minimal transaction unit constraints

This paper addresses itself to a portfolio optimization problem under nonconvex transaction costs and minimal transaction unit constraints. Associated with portfolio construction is a fee for purchasing assets. Unit transaction fee is larger when the amount of transaction is smaller. Hence the transaction cost is usually a concave function up to certain point. When the amount of transaction increases, the unit price of assets increases due to illiquidity/market impact effects. Hence the transaction cost becomes convex beyond certain bound. Therefore, the net expected return becomes a general d.c. function (difference of two convex functions). We will propose a branch-and-bound algorithm for the resulting d.c. maximization problem subject to a constraint on the level of risk measured in terms of the absolute deviation of the rate of return of a portfolio. Also, we will show that the minimal transaction unit constraints can be incorporated without excessively increasing the amount of computation.

多背包问题的半定松驰算法

The multiple knapsack problem denoted by MKP (B,S,rn,n) can be defined as follows. A set B of n items and a set S of rn knapsacks are given such that each item j has a profit pi and weight wj,and each knapsack i has a capacity Ci. The goal is to find a subset of items of maximum profit such that they have a feasible packing in the knapsacks. MKP (B,S,m,n) is strongly NP-Complete and no polynomial time approximation algorithm can have an approximation ratio better than 0.5. In the last ten years,semi-definite programming has been empolyed to solve some combinatorial problems successfully. This paper firstly presents a semi-definite relaxation algorithm (MKPS) for MKP (B,S,rn,n). It is proved that MKPS have a approximation ratio better than 0. 5 for a subclass of MKP (B,S,m,n) with n≤100, m≤5 and max^nj=1{wj}/min^mi=1={Ci}≤2/3.     

An adaptive trust region method and its convergence

In this paper, a new trust region subproblem is proposed. The trust radius in the new subproblem adjusts itself adaptively. As a result, an adaptive trust region method is constructed based on the new trust region subproblem. The local and global convergence results of the adaptive trust region method are proved. Numerical results indicate that the new method is very efficient.     

Multicriteria decision making under uncertainty

Formalization for problems of multicriteria decision making under uncertainty is constructed in terms of guaranteed and weak estimates. A relevant definition of the vector maximinimax value is given. Parameterization and approximation of maximum, minimax, and maximinimax values based on the inverse logical convolution are suggested. An application for multicommodity networks is considered.
