An example of the quadratic assignment problem (QAP) is the facility location problem, in which n facilities are assigned, at minimum cost, to n sites. Between each pair of facilities, there is a ...

We formulated and solved the fleet assignment problem as an integer linear programming model, permitting assignment of two or more fleets to a flight schedule simultaneously. The objective function ...

Start working toward program admission and requirements right away. Work you complete in the non-credit experience will transfer to the for-credit experience when you ...

Abstract: In a distributed heterogeneous factory (DHF), an order can be assigned to multiple factories for production. Although this method reduces production costs, it can cause reduced loading ...

Abstract: In the field of combinatorial optimization, numerous methods have been developed to address complex problems, including assignment, scheduling, and resource allocation. This paper presents a ...
