The harmonic consistency index for the analytic hierarchy process

A new consistency measure, the harmonic consistency index, is obtained for any positive reciprocal matrix in the analytic hierarchy process. We show how this index varies with changes in any matrix element. A tight upper bound is provided for this new consistency measure when the entries of matrix are at most 9, as is often recommended. Using simulation, the harmonic consistency index is shown to give numerical values similar to the standard consistency index but it is easier to compute and interpret. In addition, new properties of the column sums of reciprocal matrices are obtained.     

拟协调元的精度分析

利用双参数有限元的框架，证明利用拟协调元方法构造的非协调三角形板元都具有一个非常特殊的性质。即相容误差比插值误差高一阶。这是常规有限元和一般非协调元所不具备的。

A bi-objective mathematical model toward dynamic cell formation considering labor utilization

This paper addresses dynamic cell formation problem (DCFP) via a new bi-objective mathematical formulation. Although literature body of DCFP includes a vast number of research instances, human-related issues are mostly neglected as an important aspect of DCFP in the corresponding literature. In this paper, the first objective function seeks to minimize relevant costs of the problem including machine procurement and relocation costs, machine variable cost, inter-cell movement and intra-cell movement costs, overtime cost and labor shifting cost between cells, while labor utilization of the modeled DCFP is maximized through the second objective function. Due to NP-hardness of DCFP, an ant colony optimization (ACO) meta-heuristic is developed for the first time in the literature to tackle the problem. Also, authors enhance diversification of the developed algorithm is enhanced by hybridization of the proposed ACO algorithm with a genetic one. Finally, some numerical samples are generated randomly to validate the proposed model by which strengths of the developed algorithm is shown.     

OBSERVATIONS ON INFEASIBILITY DETECTORS FOR CLASSIFYING CONIC CONVEX PROGRAMS

Abstract

New insights are presented from a convex duality classification theory of over 25 years ago for recent computational complexity results developed for recognizing some of the asymptotic duality states that prevail for an arbitrary convex programming pair.

A ‘stack’ model of rate-independent polycrystals

A novel ‘stack’ model of a rate-independent polycrystal, which extends the ‘ALAMEL’ model of Van Houtte et al. (2005) is proposed. In the ‘stack’ model, stacks of N neighboring ‘ALAMEL’ domains collectively accommodate the imposed macroscopic deformation while deforming such that velocity and traction continuity with their neighbors is maintained. The flow law and consistency conditions are derived and an efficient solution methodology based on the linear programming technique is given. The present model is applied to study plastic deformation of an idealized two-dimensional polycrystal under macroscopically imposed plane-strain tension and simple shear constraints. Qualitative and quantitative variations in the predicted macroscopic and microscopic response with N are presented. The constraint on individual ‘ALAMEL’ domains diminishes with stack size N but saturates for large N. Computational effort associated with the present model is analyzed and found to be well within one order of magnitude greater than that required to solve the classical Taylor model. Furthermore, implementation of the consistency conditions is found to reduce computation time by at least 50%.
