A generalized network problem is a special class of linear programming problem whose coefficient matrix contains at most two nonzero elements per column. A generalized network problem with 0-1 flow restrictions is called an integer generalized network(IGN) problem. In this paper, we presented a branch and bound algorithm for the IGN that uses network relaxation. To improve the procedure, we develop various strategies, each of which employs different node selection criterion and/or branching variable selection criterion. We test these solution strategies and compare their efficiencies with LINDO on 70 randomly generated problems.

Given the flow matrix, plant size (rectangle shape) and department sizes, the algorithm in this paper provides the plant layout with rectilinear distance measure. To construct automated facility design, eigenvector approach is employed. A branch and bound computer code developed by Tillinghast is modified to find the feasible fits of departments without shape distortion (see [1])in the plant rectangle. The computational results compared with CRAFT are shown.

The purpose of this paper is to develop a branch and bound algorithm for the transportation problem with a limited number of company owned vehicles. First, we find an initial solution by solving quasi-assignment subproblem induced by relaxing constraints of the vehicle capacity and illegal tours elimination equations. Second, we build routing from the assignment, and if there is a routings which violates relaxed constraints, we introduce branches of the subproblem in order to remove it. After all branches are searched, we get the optimal solution.

Unification of Kohone SOM(Self-Organizing Maps) neural network with the branch-and-bound algorithm is presented for clustering large set of patterns. The branch-and-bound search technique is employed for designing coarse neural network learning paradaim. Those unification can be use for clustering or calssfication of large patterns. For classfication purposes further usefulness is possible, since only two clusters exists in the SOM neural network of each nodes. The result of experiments show the fast learning time, the fast recognition time and the compactness of clustering.

This paper covers algorithms to determine a machine assignment strategy to locations on a single straight track by minimizing the total backtrack distance. Three different algorithms ar presented: an efficient heuristic procedure, the branch-and-bound algorithm, and the nerual network approach. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithms have potential power to design an on-line optimizer.

In this paper, an algorithm for stacking sequence optimization which deals with discrete ply angles is used for optimization of composite laminated plates. To handle discrete ply angles, the branch and bound method is modified. Numerical results show that the optimal stacking sequence is found with fewer evaluations of objective function than expected with the size of feasible region, which shows the algorithm can be effectively used for layup optimization of composite laminates..

본 논문에서는 다층 연결 구조(Multistage Interconnection Network, MIN)를 기반으로 하는 병렬 컴퓨터 환경에서 효과적으로 운용할 수 있는 병렬 Optimal Best-First search Branch-and-Bound 알고리즘(pobs)을 제안하고, 성능을 분석하였다. 제안된 알고리즘은 먼저 해를 얻고자 하는 문제를 임의의 G개 부 문제로 분할하고 소수 프로세서로 구성된 프로세서 그룹들에 할당하여 각각의 지역 해를 산출하도록 하였다. 따라서 N개의 프로세서를 갖는 시스템은 G개 프로세서 그룹으로 구분되고 각 프로세서 그룹은 P(=N/G)개 프로세서를 보유하게 된다. 각 프로세서 그룹은 할당된 부 문제의 지역 해를 얻는 과정에 병렬 sub-Global Best-First B&B 알고리즘을 수행한다. 프로세서 그룹들이 산출한 지역 해들 가운데 최선의 값을 갖는 지역 해가 문제의 전역 해로 결정되는데, 이를 위하여 각 프로세서 그룹의 대표 프로세서는 할당된 부 문제의 지역 해를 다른 그룹들에게 전파하도록 하였다. 지역 해 전파는 프로세서 그룹들의 지역 해 비교를 통한 전역해 선정 기능과 함께 프로세서 그룹간 작업 불균형 문제를 상당 부분 해소하는 효과를 제공한다. 알고리즘 설계에 이어 성능 평가를 위한 분석 모형을 제시하였다. 제안한 모형은 B&B 알고리즘 수행에 따른 연산 소요시간과 통신 소요시간을 분리하여 처리함으로 병렬 처리 환경에서 보다 실질적인 알고리즘 성능 평가가 가능하게 함과 동시에, 다양한 컴퓨터 연결 구조에서의 알고리즘 성능 예측을 용이하게 하였다. B&B 알고리즘의 확률 특성을 토대로 작성된 성능 분석 연구의 실효성 검토를 위하여 MIN 기반 시스템을 대상으로 병행된 시뮬레이션 결과는 상호 미세한 오차 범위 내에서 일치하는 결과를 보여 제시한 성능 분석 기법의 타당성을 입증하였다. 또한, 본 논문에서 제안한 병렬 알고리즘을 MIN 기반 시스템에 적용하여 기존 알고리즘의 성능과 비교 평가 결과 제안한 pobs가 문제 해결 과정에서 전개되는 부 문제 수를 줄이고 프로세서간의 효율적인 작업 분배 효과를 제공하는 한편 프로세서간의 주된 통신 활동 범위를 국부적으로 제한하여 성능면에서 우수함을 입증하였다.

This paper considers a two-machine flow-shop scheduling problem for minimizing mean flow time. Each job has three non-preemptive operations, where the first and third operations must be Processed on the first and second machines, respectively, but the second operation can be processed on either machine. A lower bound based on SPT rule is derived, which is then used to develop a branch-and-bound algorithm. Also, an efficient simple heuristic algorithm is developed to generate a near-optimal schedule. Numerical experiments are performed to evaluate the performances of the proposed branch-and-bound and the heuristic algorithm

We consider a generalized problem of the continuous multiple choice knapsack problem and study on the LP relaxation of the candidate problems which are generated in the branch and bound algorithm for solving the generalized problem. The LP relaxed candidate problem is called the generalized continuous multiple choice linear knapsack problem and characterized by some variables which are partitioned into continuous multiple choice constraints and the others which only belong to simple upper bound constraints. An efficient algorithm of order O($n^2logn$) is developed by exploiting some structural properties and applying binary search to ordered solution sets, where n is the total number of variables. A numerical example is presented.

BTL(Build-Transfer-Lease) Project for Education Facilities is contracted as a package which consists of several education facilities and its maintenance period is 20 years. Thus, total cost variation largely depends on the accuracy of the maintenance cost forecasting in the early stage in the life cycle of the BTL Projects. This research develops a method using complete linkage algorithm and branch & bound algorithm to help in finding optimal bundling combination. The result of this research suggests more reasonable and effective forecasting method for the maintenance bundle in BTL projects.
