We consider a supply chain design problem where the decision maker needs to decide the number and locations of the distribution centers (DCs). Customers face random demand, and ea...
— We describe a solution procedure for a special case of the periodic vehicle routing problem (PVRP). Operation managers at an auto parts in the north of Spain described the opti...
Monte Carlo methods have been used extensively in the area of stochastic programming. As with other methods that involve a level of uncertainty, theoretical properties are required...
We consider the problem of calculating resonance frequencies and radiative losses of an optical resonator. The optical resonator is in the form of a thin membrane with variable die...
This paper describes a simulated annealing based multiobjective optimization algorithm that incorporates the concept of archive in order to provide a set of tradeoff solutions for ...
