In the past few years, the mining industry has seen a lot of operational changes. Digitalization and automation of many processes have paved the way for an increase in its general productivity. In keeping with this trend, this article presents a novel approach for optimizing underground mine scheduling for the short- and medium-term. This problem is similar to the Resource-Constrained Project Scheduling Problem, with the difference that all task completions are optional. The model uses constraint programming principles to maximize the Net Present Value of a mining project. It plans work shifts for up to a year in advance, considering specialized equipment, rock support and operational constraints. This is the first published paper using optional variables to model optional tasks in a real-life application. Results from its applications to datasets based on a Canadian gold mine demonstrate its ability to find optimal solutions in a reasonable time. A comparison with an equivalent Mixed Integer Programing model proves that the constraint programming approach offers clear gains in terms of computability and readability of the constraints.

This paper proposes a method to synthesize four-bar linkages and crank sliders with a prescribed torque or force function for the output link. Based on the concept of virtual work, the force or torque generation problems are transformed into velocity ratio synthesis problems. In contrast to the traditional analytical method that requires solving numerous equations with complicated mathematical treatments, the proposed approach only needs basic drawing techniques of CAD software and basic kinematic knowledge of graphical analysis. Taking advantage of the geometric constraint in commercial CAD software, the velocity polygon of each desired precision position can be constructed, and the value of the objective velocity can be assigned to synthesize the linkage reversibly. This paper demonstrates the approach by synthesizing four-bar linkages and crank sliders that satisfy three or four precise positions of prescribed linear and nonlinear torque or force functions. The result shows that the output torque or the output force of the designed linkage can approximately trace the required function with small errors. With the aid of the CAD software, the linkage mechanical advantage of several positions can be assigned directly, creating and addressing a new category of dimensional synthesis different from traditional function, path, and motion generation. It may be called force generation or mechanical advantage generation. The approach may provide a new perspective to the linkage designer. Copyright © 2024 by ASME.

As a specific area or facility for berthing and loading and unloading cargo, berths have an important impact on the throughput of a terminal. Efficient Continuous Berth Allocation (CBA) makes optimal use of berth space to reduce the port staying time of vessels. In this paper a rolling horizon-based constraint programming (CP) approach is proposed to solve the CBA problem. To comprehensively model the process of allocating berth to vessels, the declarative modeling method, constraint programming is employed to formulate the constraints in the CBA problem. Additionally, a rolling horizon-based scheduling framework is proposed to tackle the uncertainty caused by the dynamic arrival of vessels. Benefiting from the solving efficiency of the CP method, the subproblems obtained through rolling horizon decomposition can be solved in seconds. As the experimental results show, the proposed method can find the optimal result for each subproblem and eligible scheduling for a one-month CBA problem. Compared with the historical operation of a real terminal, the staying time of vessels is remarkably reduced. © Beijing HIWING Scientific and Technological Information Institute 2024.

In facility location problems we seek to locate a set of facilities in an area, where clients may be present, so that some criterion is optimized. In the p-median problem we seek to minimize the sum of distances between demand points and their nearest facility, whereas in the p-dispersion problem we seek to maximize the closest distance between any two facilities. Recently, a variant of p-dispersion where distance constraints exist between facilities was studied from a constraint programming (CP) and Integer Linear programming (ILP) perspective. An incomplete CP solver that uses a greedy heuristic to prune branches during search was shown to significantly outperform the ILP solver Gurobi and the CP solver OR-Tools in terms of execution time. Following that work, we consider a variant of the p-median problem where distance constraints exist between facilities and between facilities and demand points. This problem can be used to model the requirements that arise when locating semi-obnoxious facilities. We first introduce ILP and CP models and implement them in Gurobi and OR-Tools. Then, we demonstrate how a heuristic CP solver can be developed and applied on the p-median problem with distance constraints, comparing it to Gurobi and OR-Tools.

constraint programming (CP) has become increasingly prevalent in recent years for performing pattern mining tasks, particularly on binary datasets. While numerous CP models have been designed for mining on binary data, there does not exist any model designed for mining on numerical datasets. Therefore these kinds of datasets need to be pre-processed to fit the existing methods. Afterward a post-processing is also required to recover the patterns into a numerical format. This paper presents two CP approaches for mining closed interval patterns directly from numerical data. Our proposed models seamlessly execute pattern mining tasks without any loss of information or the need for preor post-processing steps. Experiments conducted on different numerical datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed CP models compared to other methods.

A new variable neighbourhood search with a constraint programming search strategy for the open shop scheduling problem with operation repetitions

ENGINEERING OPTIMIZATION 2022年第9期54卷 1563-1582页

This article presents a new variant for the open shop scheduling problem, the open shop scheduling problem with repetitions (OSSPR), where the jobs can be processed on any machine more than once (operation by operation). Thereby, all the jobs can be scheduled in an unconstrained way, substantially increasing the number of feasible solutions in comparison with the classical open shop. The OSSPR has many applications in automotive and maintenance actives. To solve the problem, a mixed-integer linear programming model is presented and a new constraint programming model is proposed. Since the problem under study is NP-hard, a new efficient variable neighbourhood search is proposed using variable search strategies through the proposed constraint programming model. The objective function is makespan minimization, and it uses the lower bound deviation as performance criterion. Computational results show very good performance of the proposed metaheuristic on the instances tested.

Given an optimization problem, combining knowledge from both (i) structural or algorithmic known results and (ii) new solving techniques, helps gain insight and knowledge on the aforementioned problem by tightening the gap between lower and upper bounds on the sought optimal value. Additionally, this gain may be further improved by iterating (i) and (ii) until a fixed point is reached. In this paper, we illustrate the above through the classical Cyclic Bandwidth problem, an optimization problem which takes as input an undirected graph G = (V, E) with |V| = n, and asks for a labeling. of V in which every vertex v takes a unique value phi(v) is an element of [1;n], in such a way that B-c(G, phi) = max{min(uv)is an element of E(G){|phi(u)-phi(v)|, n-|phi(u)-phi(v)|}}, called the cyclic bandwidth of G, is minimized. Using the classic benchmark from the Harwell-Boeing sparse matrix collection introduced in [16], we show how to combine (i) previous results from the Cyclic Bandwidth literature, and (ii) new solving techniques, which we first present, and then implement, starting from the best results obtained in step (i). We show that this process allows us to determine the optimal cyclic bandwidth value for half of the instances of our benchmark, and improves the best known bounds for a large number of the remaining instances.

A collection of constraint programming models for the three-dimensional stable matching problem with cyclic preferences

We introduce five constraint models for the 3-dimensional stable matching problem with cyclic preferences and study their relative performances under diverse configurations. While several constraint models have been proposed for variants of the two-dimensional stable matching problem, we are the first to present constraint models for a higher number of dimensions. We show for all five models how to capture two different stability notions, namely weak and strong stability. Additionally, we translate some well-known fairness notions (i.e. sex-equal, minimum regret, egalitarian) into 3-dimensional matchings, and present how to capture them in each model. Our tests cover dozens of problem sizes and four different instance generation methods. We explore two levels of commitment in our models: one where we have an individual variable for each agent (individual commitment), and another one where the determination of a variable involves pairing the three agents at once (group commitment). Our experiments show that the suitability of the commitment depends on the type of stability we are dealing with, and that the choice of the search heuristic can help improve performance. Our experiments not only brought light to the role that learning and restarts can play in solving this kind of problems, but also allowed us to discover that in some cases combining strong and weak stability leads to reduced runtimes for the latter.

Scheduling problems are naturally formulated in terms of constraint programming (CP), yet the application of CP-based approaches for job scheduling on High-Performance Computing (HPC) clusters remains underexplored. This study aims to bridge this gap by analyzing the scheduling of diverse real workload traces using IBM ILOG CP Optimizer. The analysis considers not just the basic metrics Average Bounded Slowdown and Average Response Time, but also Area-Weighted Average Response Time and Level-2 Priority-Weighted Specific Time, which measure packing efficiency and fairness. For each workload trace and metric combination, schedules produced through optimizing the metric with CP Optimizer are compared against schedules generated by the variants of the list scheduling with backfilling that are most suitable for the metric. The CP-based scheduling improves scheduling quality in most of the examined cases. The analysis of the metrics that represent different scheduling goals uncovers several non-trivial insights. Presently, CP Optimizer still encounters scalability issues with large wait queues and non-linear objective functions. Nonetheless, it often demonstrates improvements in packing efficiency, which make CP techniques attractive, particularly in scenarios where high-maintenance clusters run a moderate number of large, rigid, well-characterized jobs.

Solving the integrated process planning and scheduling problem using an enhanced constraint programming-based approach

Due to various factors of flexibility introduced into manufacturing systems, researchers have gradually shifted their focus to the integrated process planning and scheduling (IPPS) problem to improve productivity. The previous literature rarely associates IPPS with constraint programming, even though constraint programming has achieved success in the scheduling field. Furthermore, existing approaches are usually customized to certain types of IPPS problems and cannot handle the general problem. In this paper, with a view to obtaining the optimal AND/OR graph automatically, a depth first search generating algorithm is designed to convert the type-1 IPPS problem into our approach's standard input format. Moreover, we propose an approach based on enhanced constraint programming to cope with the general problem, employing advanced schemes to enhance the constraint propagation and improve the search efficiency. Our approach is implemented on ORTOOLS, and its superiority is verified by testing on 15 benchmarks with 50 instances. Experimental results indicate that 41 instances are solved optimally, among which the optimality of the solutions for 20 instances is newly confirmed, and the solutions of six instances are improved. Our approach is the first method to reach the overall optimum in the most influential benchmark with 24 instances.
