A B S T R A C T Shelf space is one of the scarcest resources, and its effective management to maximize profits has become essential to gain a competitive advantage for retailers. We consider the shelf space allocation problem with additional features (e.g., integer facings, rectangular arrangement restrictions) motivated by litera-ture and our interactions with a local bookstore. We determine optimal number of facings of all products in two aspects (width and height of a rectangular arrangement space for each product), and allocate them as contiguous rectangles to maximize profit. We first develop a mixed-integerlinear mathematical programming model (MIP) for our problem and propose a solution method based on logic-based Ben-ders decomposition (LBBD). Next, we construct an exact 2-stage algorithm (IP1/IP2), inspired by LBBD, which can handle larger and real-world size instances. To compare performances of our methods, we generate 100 test instances inspired by real-world applications and benchmarks from the literature. We observe that IP1/IP2 finds optimal solutions for real-world instances efficiently and can increase the local bookstore's profit up to 16.56%. IP1/IP2 can provide optimal solutions for instances with 100 products in minutes and optimally solve up to 250 products (assigned to 8 rows x 160 columns) within a time limit of 1800 s. This exact 2-stage IP1/IP2 solution approach can be effective in solving similar problems such as display problem of webpage design, allocation of product families in grocery stores, and flyer advertising.

This manuscript presents robust optimization framework with multi-objective approach for day-ahead operation of hybrid power system consisted of photovoltaic (PV) panel, fuel cell (FC) with electrolyzer (Elc) back-up. The multi-objective optimization model of PV/FC/ Elc has been developed by combining the physical and operational constraints with mathematical equivalence of affine forms as well as considering the uncertainties occurring in the load demand and PV power generation. As a novel contribution to the literature, three robust optimization approaches for scheduling the hybrid power systems have been presented through the conservatism approach. Moreover, the objective function has been described to integrate the different objectives as aiming to minimize non-supplied load, while maximize the utilization rate of the essential source. By this way, it has been aimed to accelerate the adaptation of the demand response strategies for the proposed system. Moreover, this hybrid scheme provides solutions to meet the power demands for the residential end-users located in off-grid areas or islands. The mixedintegerlinearprogramming (MILP) model is tested in GAMS v.24.1.3 using the solver CPLEX v.12 and the developed strategy is analyzed for different load patterns. The results are discussed and commented with some suggestions to prove the contribution of the paper. (c) 2022 Hydrogen Energy Publications LLC. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
