The generalized knapsack problem or gknap is the combinatorial optimization problem of optimizing a nonnegative linear function over the integral hull of the intersection of a polynomially separable 0-1 polytope and a knapsack constraint. The knapsack, the restricted shortest path, and the constrained spanning tree problem are a partial list of gknap. More interesting1y, all the problem that are known to have a fully polynomial approximation scheme, or FPTAS are gknap. We establish some necessary and sufficient conditions for a gknap to admit an FPTAS. To do so, we recapture the standard scaling and approximate binary search techniques in the framework of gknap. This also enables us to find a weaker sufficient condition than the strong NP-hardness that a gknap does not have an FPTAS. Finally, we apply the conditions to explore the fully polynomial approximability of the constrained spanning problem whose fully polynomial approximability is still open.

An algorithm for solving the cardinality constrained linear programming knapsack problem is presented. The algorithm has a convenient structure for a branch-and-bound approach to the integer version, especially to the 0-1 collapsing knapsack problem. A numerical example is given.

The aim of microscopic image restoration is to recover the image by applying the inverse process of degradation, and the results facilitate automated and improved analysis of the image. In this work, we consider the problem of image restoration as a minimization problem of convex cost function, which consists of a least-squares fitting term and regularization terms with non-negative constraints. The finite step method is proposed to solve this constrained convex optimization problem. We demonstrate the convergence of this method. Efficiency and restoration capability of the proposed method were tested and illustrated through numerical experiments.

Constrained minimum Steiner tree (CMST) problem is a key issue in multicast routing with quality of service (QoS) support. Bounded shortest path algorithm (BSMA) has been recognized as one of the best algorithms for the CMST problem due to its excellent cost performance. This algorithm starts with a minimumdelay tree, and then iteratively uses a
-shortest-path (KSP) algorithm to search for a better path to replace a “superedge” in the existing tree, and consequently reduces the cost of the tree. The major drawback of BSMA is its high time complexity because of the use of the KSP algorithm. For this reason, we investigate in this paper the possibility of more efficient implementations of BSMA by using different methods to locate the target path for replacing a superedge. Our experimental results indicate that our methods can significantly reduce the time complexity of BSMA without deteriorating the cost performance.

In this paper, a new smoothing approximation to the l₁ exact penalty function for constrained optimization problems (COP) is presented. It is shown that an optimal solution to the smoothing penalty optimization problem is an approximate optimal solution to the original optimization problem. Based on the smoothing penalty function, an algorithm is presented to solve COP, with its convergence under some conditions proved. Numerical examples illustrate that this algorithm is efficient in solving COP.

In this paper, a rule for dispatching operations, named the Most Dissimilar Resources (MDR) dispatching rule is presented. The MDR dispatching rule has been designed to maximize utilization of resources in a resource-constrained job shop with general precedence constraints. In shown that solving the above scheduling problem with the MDR dispatching rule is equivalent to multiple solving of the maximum clique problem. A graph theoretic approach is used to model the latter problem. The pairwise counting heuristic of computational time complexity O(n$^{2}$) is developed to solve the maximum clique problem. An attempt is made to combine the MDR dispatching rule with the existing look-ahead dispatching rules. Computational experience indicates that the combined MDR dispatching rules provide solutions of better quality and consistency than the dispatching rules tested in a resource-constrained job shop.

Given a network with k specified vertices bi called centers, a cardinality constrained cover is a family {Bi} of k subsets covering the vertex set of a network, such that each subset Bi corresponds to and contains center bi, and satisfies a given cardinality constraint. A set of cardinality constrained overlapping territories is a cardinality constrained cover such that the total sum of T(B$_{i}$) for all subsets is minimum among all cardinality constrained covers, where T(B$_{i}$) is the summation of the shortest path lengths from center bi to every vertex in B$_{I}$. This paper considers a problem of finding a set of cardinality constrained overlapping territories. and proposes an algorithm for the Problem which has the time and space complexities are O(k$^{3}$$\mid$V$\mid$$^{2}$) and O(k$\mid$V$\mid$+$\mid$E$\mid$), respectively, where V and E are the sets of vertices and edges of a given network, respectively. The concept of overlapping territories has a possibility to be applied to a job assignment problem.oblem.

In this paper, we are modeling the problem of the reliability evaluation in the network with delay. The triconnected decomposition and factoring algorithm for the network reliability, known as the most efficient algorithm, does not work in this constrained problem. So, we propose some ideas that reduce the above constrained problem to the general network reliability problem. We also present an algorithm for the reliability evaluation in the network with delay based on these ideas.

In this paper, we propose a new design method for bidirectional associative memories model with high error correction ratio. We extend the conventional GBAM model using bias terms and formulate a design procedure in the form of a constrained optimization problem. The constrained optimization problem is then transformed into a GEVP(generalized eigenvalue problem), which can be efficiently solved by recently developed interior point methods. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is illustrated by a example.
