The multi-objective integer programming problem often occurs in multi-criteria decision making situations, where the decision variables are integers. In the present paper, we have discussed an algorithm for finding all efficient solutions of a multi-objective integer quadratic programmingproblem. The proposed algorithm is based on the aspect that efficient solutions of a multi-objective integer quadratic programmingproblem can be obtained by enumerating ranked solutions of an integer quadratic programmingproblem. For determining ranked solutions of an integer quadratic programmingproblem, we have constructed a related integer linear programmingproblem and from ranked solutions of this integer linear programmingproblem, ranked solutions of the original integer quadratic programmingproblem are generated. Theoretically, we have shown that the developed method generates the set of all efficient solutions in a finite number of steps, and numerically we have elaborated the working of our algorithm and compared our results with existing algorithms. Further, we have analyzed that the developed method is efficient for solving a multi-objective integer quadratic programmingproblem with a large number of constraints, variables and objectives.

In solving real life fractional programmingproblem, we often face the state of uncertainty as well as hesitation due to various uncontrollable factors. To overcome these limitations, the fuzzy rough approach is applied to this problem. In this paper, an efficient method is proposed for solving fuzzy rough multiobjective integer linear fractional programmingproblem where all the variables and parameters are fuzzy rough numbers. Here, the fuzzy rough multiobjective problem transformed into an equivalent multiobjective integer linear fractional programmingproblem. Furthermore, from the obtained problem, five crisp multiobjective integer linear fractional programmingproblems are constructed and the resultant problems are solved as a crisp integer linear programmingproblem by using Dinkelbach concept. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed procedure is illustrated through numerical examples.

Engineer-to-order (ETO) production is a method in which products are designed and manufactured in response to customer orders. Typical products of ETO production targeted in this study are large products such as power plants, plants, and shipbuilding. These products have long lead times and delivery times, and production plans need to be generated for a year or more in advance. This study proposes a hierarchical production planning (HPP) framework to generate long-term, medium-term, and short-term production plans using common granularity of production equipment and unit time on production planning method for ETO production of large products. A load planning required for the long-term production plan is formulated as an integer programming problem, and the load plans are generated using a mathematical programming solver and a constraint programming solver.

Although traffic deadlock at an intersection is a common phenomenon during rush hours, the deadlock formation metrics such as formation probability and duration have not been derived yet. As Petri Net (PN)-based approach can formulate the deadlock formation in analytical form and has been applied in numerous traffic flow studies, the PN is employed to investigate the deadlock formation probability and duration. First, each of the four main components of an intersection is formulated, namely vehicle trajectory, traffic signal, vehicle arrivals, and conflict behaviour, as a Petri Net (or IntersectionPN), and name them CellularPN, TrafficLightPN, DemandPN, and ConflictPN, respectively. Together, the entire intersection becomes an IntersectionPN, on which the system's three classes of states are defined, namely the deadlock state, the trap state, and the live state. The deadlock occurrence is formulated as an integer programming problem, while the formation probability and duration are studied by constructing a reachability graph that leads to the Markov chain of the system. A case study shows that the developed model is able to reproduce an intersection deadlock, and that the focus is on two priority behaviours: "First Enter First Serve" and "Pure Stochastic". The results show that different behaviours lead to different deadlock formation metrics and that, when the saturation flow rate degrades (due to events such as severe weather conditions), a deadlock will occur more quickly. The research results provide the analysis tool for probabilistic deadlock formation. It can also be applied to the intersection deadlock prevention and control.

The Curriculum Based university Course Timetabling (CCT) problem consists in determining the best scheduling of university course lessons in a given time interval, assigning the lessons of each course to classrooms and time periods, so that a series of constraints is satisfied. These constraints are divided into two categories: hard constraints, necessary so that the programming can actually be implemented, and soft constraints, which involve qualitative measures. This paper deals with the study of the CCT problem. We formulate a new and complete model that satisfies both the planning constraints and those on the compactness of the curricula, the distribution of the lessons (in the examined time frame), the teachers' preferences, the minimum number of working days, maximum capacity and stability of the classrooms (which aims to minimize the daily movements of students among classrooms) so that the resulting timetable is of high quality. The formulated model, with appropriate adaptations, has been applied to the real case study of the first year of the Mathematics Degree Course of the University of Catania, Italy.

We develop an approach for minimizing expected unmet demand in a supply chain modelled using a Bayesian network. We allow for nodes to be upgraded, subject to a budget constraint, to reduce the probability that the node becomes non-operational. We formulate the problem of selecting an optimal set of node upgrades as a linear binary integer program (BIP). Ours is the first formulation of expected loss minimization in Bayesian-modelled supply chains as a BIP. Unlike previous published formulations, our formulation allows for the conditional probability table of each node in the Bayesian network to be quite general, including allowing an upgraded node to have a nonzero probability of failure, and allowing multiple types of upgrades for a node. This reflects real world scenarios, including those in which node upgrades do not completely eliminate risk. We present computational results for small problems and illustrate how the solution set changes with the budget. Results for a larger food supply chain with 44 nodes and 63 arcs are also discussed. Finally, we present a preprocessing method for reducing the number of constraints needed for the BIP formulation, and evaluate the savings in run time achieved by applying our constraint reduction method.

Brain Storm Optimization (BSO) is one of the major effective swarm intelligence algorithms that simulate the human brainstorming process to find optimality for optimization problems. BSO method has successfully been applied to many real-world problems. This study employs BSO method, called BSO-IP, to solve the integer programming problem. Our method collects best solutions to generate new solutions that then search for optimal solutions in all areas of search *** BSO-IP method solves some benchmark integer programming problems to test its efficiency. The BSO-IP is used to simulate the 3D protein structure prediction problem, which is mathematically presented as an integer programming problem to approve the viability and helpfulness of our proposed Algorithm. The experimental results of different benchmarks protein structure show that our proposed method is superior in high performance, convergence, and stability in predicting protein structure. We examined our strategy results to be promising compared to other results.

The caching in fifth generation (5G) networks has been considered as a promising technique to reduce the duplicate traffic transmission and improve the users' quality of experience (QoE). Although many works have been done for caching in 5G networks, most of them focus on the content caching policy design to optimise the users' QoE, the issue to realise the energy efficiency of the whole network is not fully considered. Therefore, in this study, by introducing the hierarchical cooperative caching property, i.e. the core gateway and the base stations can cooperative cache the content, the authors study the problem of the hierarchical cooperative caching policy to realise the energy efficiency. They then formulate the hierarchical cooperative content placement problem as an integer programming problem to minimise the total energy consumption. Also, to reduce the computation complexity, the optimisation algorithm based on the idea of quantum-inspired evolutionary is proposed, which has the fast convergence and approximate to the optimal solution. Finally, extensive simulation results are illustrated to demonstrate the performance of the proposed scheme.

A special DNA computer is designed to solve the integer programming problem. The main body of this kind of DNA computer is piezoelectric genosensor which combines the sensitivity of piezoelectric sensor and DNA hybridization reaction amplified by functionalized magnetic nano-microspheres. It has the merits of simple construction, label-free feature, time-saving detection speed, and conveniently available information. When used in DNA computing, compared with conventional DNA chip, its information is easier to process automatically. Thus it can be used conveniently to construct an automatic computing machine to solve more complicated problems in operational researches. Based on the piezoelectric genosensor and surface DNA computing theory, a new DNA computer model is proposed in this paper. It is suggested that the piezoelectric genosensor can be used as a potential DNA computing chip to construct an automatic DNA computer.
