This paper descbibes a fuzzy multiobjective linear programming, which is a relatively new approach in forestry in solving forest management problems. At first, the fuzzy set theory is explained briefly and the fuzzy linear programming(FLP) and the fuzzy multiobjective linear programming(FMLP) are introduced conceptionally. With the information obtained from the study area in Thailand, a standard linear programming problem is formulated, and optimal solutions (present net worth) are calculated for four groups of timber price by this LP model, respectively. This LP model is reformulated to a fuzzy multiobjective linear programming model to accommodate uncertain timber values and with this FMLP model a compromise solution is attained. Optimal solutions of four objective functions for four timber price groups and the compromise solution are compared and discussed.

This paper considers an optimal base station clustering problem for designing a mobile (wireless) communication network. For a given network with a set of nodes (base stations), the problem is to optimally partition the set of nodes into subsets (each called a cluster) such that the associated inter-cluster traffic is minimized under certain topological constraints and cluster capacity constraints. In the problem analysis, the problem is formulated as an integer programming problem. The integer programming problem is then transformed into a binary integer programming problem, for which the associated linear programming relaxation is solved in a column generation approach assisted by a branch-and-bound procedure. For the column generation, both a heuristic algorithm and a valid inequality approach are exploited. Various numerical examples are solved to evaluate the effectiveness of the LP (Linear Programming) based branch-and-bound algorithm.

In this paper, an optimal algorithm for the design of 1-D FIR filters with finite precision coefficients is proposed. The algorithm is based on the observation that the frequency constraints of a sub-problems(SP) in the branch and bound algorithm, which repeatedly use LP(linear programming), are closely related with those of neighboring SPs. By using the relationship between the SPs, the proposed algorithm reduces the number of constraints required for solving each SP with Lp, whereas the conventional algorithm employs all the constraints, which are required for solving the initial problem. Thus, the overall computational load for the design of FIR filters with finite precision coefficients is significantly alleviated, compared to the conventional branch and bound algorithm. Also, a new branching scheme for the design of FIR filters with sum-of-power-of-two(SOPOT) coefficients is proposed. It is shown that the computational load for the design fo SOPT coefficient filters can be further reduced with the new branching scheme.

The product portfolio problem(PPP) is an optimization problem that determines the production quantity of a particular product to obtain the maximum profit among the n products. Linear programming(LP) is known as the only way to solve this optimization problem. The linear programming method is a problem that optimizes n linear functions and uses LINGO or Excel solver. This paper proposes a simple algorithm that uses CPR, a product cost-profit ratio, to sort in CPR descending order and then determines the maximum allowed production quantity by hand as the actual production quantity. As a result of applying the proposed algorithm to six experimental data, it was shown that more accurate results can be obtained compared to the linear programming method.

This paper presents a robust power system state estimator using linear programming(LP). LP state estimators minimize the weighted sum of the absolute values of the measurement residuals. In this paper, WLS(weighted least square) and WLAV(weighted least absolute value) state estimators are run with same measurement sets including bad data in order to compare the robustness to bad data and convergence characteristics of the two methods. Simulations with three test cases are performed and the results are presented, using IEEE 14 bus system.

A lot of DSM (Demand Side Management) programs have been implemented to promote the effective utilization of resources and the rational development of power industry, and various economic analyses and policy-based studies on DSM have been executed to determine effective subsidy budget. In this paper, a new objective function for deciding an optimal incentive allocation among various programs is presented by introducing the maximization of the total saving power of the programs. For simplicity, the objective function and the constraints is linearized to apply LP(Linear Programming) method. LP program based on Simplex Method was developed by MATLAB. An optimal incentive allocation of 4 DSM programs is presented by the use of the developed MATLAB program.

Available transfer capability(ATC) is an important indicator of the usable amount of transmission capacity accessible by several parties for commercial trading in power transaction activities. This paper deals with an application of optimization technique for available transfer capability(ATC) calculation and analyzes the results of ATC by considering several constraints. Especially several optimization techniques are used to solve the ATC problem with state-steady security constraints. The results are compared with that of repeat power flow(RPF), sequential quadratic programming(SQP) and linear programming(LP). The proposed method is applied to 10 machines 39 buses model systems to show its effectiveness.

We present a two dimensional linear programming knapsack problem with the extended GUB constraint. The presented problem is an extension of the cardinality constrained linear programming knapsack problem. We identify some new properties of the problem and derive a solution algorithm based on the parametric analysis for the knapsack right-hand-side. The solution algorithm has a worst case time complexity of order O($n^2logn$). A numerical example is given.

In this paper, we consider a maximin version of the linear programming knapsack problem with extended generalized upper bound (GUB) constraints. We solve the problem efficiently by exploiting its special structure without transforming it into a standard linear programming problem. We present an O(n$^3$) algorithm for deriving the optimal solution where n is the total number of problem variables. We illustrate a numerical example.

Reductions of the electricity charge are achieved by demand management of the load. The demand management method of the load using ESS involves peak shifting, which shifts from a high demand time to low demand time. By shifting the load, the peak load can be lowered and the energy charge can be saved. Electricity charges consist of the energy charge and the basic charge per contracted capacity. The energy charge and peak load are minimized by Linear Programming (LP) and Quadratic Programming (QP), respectively. On the other hand, each optimization method has its advantages and disadvantages. First, the LP cannot separate the efficiency of the ESS. To solve these problems, the charge and discharge efficiency of the ESS was separated by Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP). Nevertheless, both methods have the disadvantages that they must assume the reduction ratio of peak load. Therefore, QP was used to solve this problem. The next step was to optimize the formula combination of QP and LP to minimize the electricity charge. On the other hand, these two methods have disadvantages in that the charge and discharge efficiency of the ESS cannot be separated. This paper proposes an optimization method according to the situation by analyzing quantitatively the advantages and disadvantages of each optimization method.
