The typical design of ground improvement with prefabricated vertical drains (PVD) and surcharge preloading involves a series of deterministic analyses using averaged or mean soil properties for the various combination of the PVD spacing and surcharge preloading height that would meet the criteria for minimum consolidation time and required degree of consolidation. The optimum design combination is then selected in which the total cost of ground improvement is a minimum. Considering the variability and uncertainties of the soil consolidation parameters, as well as considering the effects of soil disturbance (smear zone) and drain resistance in the analysis, this study presents a stochastic cost optimization of ground improvement with PVD and surcharge preloading. Direct Monte Carlo (MC) simulation and importance sampling (IS) technique is used in the stochastic analysis by limiting the sampled random soil parameters within the range from a minimum to maximum value while considering their statistical distribution. The method has been verified in a case study of PVD improved ground with preloading, in which average results of the stochastic analysis showed a good agreement with field monitoring data.

N개의 signal net와 소스 노드 s, 싱크 노드가 있을 때, 최소 비용 직각선분 거리 유지 트리의 s와 싱크 간의 노선 길이는 s와 싱크 간의 직각선분의 길이와 일치한다. 최소 비용 직각선분 Steiner 거리유지 트리는 최단 s와 싱크 간의 직각선분 길이를 유지하면서 전체 트리 비용이 최소가 되도록 하는 것이다. 최소 비용 직각선분 Steiner 거리 유지 트리를 찾는 휴리스틱 알고리즘이 최근에 발표된 바 있는데, 본 논문에서는 O(n2 log m)2) 계산시간 내에 비용을 최소화하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 네트워크 흐름 이론과 최소 비용 흐름 알고리즘을 이용하여 최적화 해를 발견하였다. 더욱 일반화된 응용 연구가 제안 되었고 관련 미해결 문제를 제시하였다.

Structural optimization is one of the most important topics in structural engineering and has a wide range of applicability. Therefore, the main objective of the present study is to apply the Lagrange Multiplier Method (LMM) for minimum cost design of singly and doubly reinforced rectangular concrete beams. Concrete and steel material costs are used as objective cost function to be minimized in this study, and ultimate flexural strength of the beam is considered to be as the main constraint. The ultimate limit state method with partial material strength factors and equivalent concrete stress block is used to derive general relations for flexural strength of RC beam and empirical coefficients are taken from topic 9 of the Iranian National Building Regulation (INBR9). Optimum designs are obtained by using the LMM and are presented in closed form solutions. Graphical representation of solutions are presented and it is shown that proposed design curves can be used for minimum cost design of the beams without prior knowledge of optimization and without the need for iterative trials. The applicability of the proposed relations and curves are demonstrated through two real life examples of SRB and DRB design situations and it is shown that the minimum cost design is actually reached using proposed method.

본 논문은 멀티밴드 해양통신망에서 선적 정보를 주기적으로 전송할 때 발생하는 비용을 최소화하기 위해 가용한 네트워크의 전송 비용과 주어진 허용 가능한 최대 지연 범위 이내에서 예상되는 최소 평균 전송 비용을 비교하여 전송 시점을 결정하는 방안을 제시한다. 이때 전송 시점과 해당 네트워크의 선택 과정을 Markov Decision Process (MDP)로 모델링하며, 이에 따라 각 밴드에서의 채널 상태를 2-State Markov Chain으로 모델링하고 평균 전송 비용을 Stochastic Dynamic Programming을 통해 계산한다. 이를 통해 최소 비용의 망 선택 방식이 도출되었으며, 제안된 방식을 사용할 때 고정 주기를 사용하여 정보를 전송하는 방식에 비해 상당한 망 사용 비용을 절감할 수 있음을 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통해 보인다.

This paper suggests heuristic polynomial time algorithm for crew scheduling problem that is a kind of optimization problems. This problem has been solved by linear programming, set cover problem, set partition problem, column generation, etc. But the optimal solution has not been obtained by these methods. This paper sorts transit costs $c_{ij}$ to ascending order, and the task i and j crew paths are merged in case of the sum of operation time ${\Sigma}o$ is less than day working time T. As a result, we can be obtain the minimum number of crews $_{min}K$ and minimum transit cost $z=_{min}c_{ij}$. For the transit cost of specific number of crews $K(K>_{min}K)$, we delete the maximum $c_{ij}$ as much as the number of $K-_{min}K$, and to partition a crew path. For the 5 benchmark data, this algorithm can be gets less transit cost than state-of-the-art algorithms, and gets the minimum number of crews.

다양한 원재료를 혼합하여 원하는 성분 함유량을 가진 제품을 최소의 비용으로 생산하는 혼합 최적화 문제에 대해 일반적으로 O(n⁴)의 수행 복잡도의 선형계획법을 적용하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이 문제에 대해 O(n log n)복잡도로 해를 얻을 수 있는 휴리스틱 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 알고리즘은 합금 강판에서 요구하는 성분들의 함유량 범위를 충족시키면서 최소의 원자재비용을 얻기 위해, 원재료 단가 오름차순으로 성분별 함유량을 충족시키도록 원재료 양을 결정하였다. 3가지 사례에 대해 적용한 결과 제안된 알고리즘은 O(n log n)복잡도로 단순한 결정기법을 적용하였음에도 불구하고, LP의 최적화 기법과 동일하거나 보다 좋은 해를 얻을 수 있었다.

Location area planning (LAP) problem is to partition the cellular/mobile network into location areas with the objective of minimizing the total cost in location management. The minimum cost has two components namely location update cost and searching cost. Location update cost is incurred when the user changes itself from one location area to another in the network. The searching cost incurred when a call arrives, the search is done only in the location area to find the user. Hence, it is important to find a compromise between the location update and paging operations such that the cost of mobile terminal location tracking cost is a minimum. The complete mobile network is divided into location areas. Each location area consists of a group of cells. This partitioning problem is a difficult combinatorial optimization problem. In this paper, we use particle swarm optimization (PSO) to obtain the best/optimal group of cells for 16, 36, 49, and 64 cells network. Experimental studies illustrate that PSO is more efficient and surpasses those of precious studies for these benchmarking problems.

In this paper, we propose a randomized response model with discrete quantitative attribute by three-stage cluster sampling for obtaining discrete quantitative data by using the Liu & Chow model(1976), when the population was made up of sensitive discrete quantitative clusters. We obtain the minimum variance by calculating the optimum number of fsu, ssu, tsu under the some given constant cost. And we obtain the minimum cost under the some given accuracy.

In this paper we develop the integrated software that can compare algorithms of the minimum cost flow problem using PC. The chosen algorithms are the network simplex method, dual network simplex method, and out-of-kilter method, which methods correspond to primal, dual, and primal-dual approach respectively. We also present the improved methods obtaining the initial solution to increase the efficiency of algorithms, and experiment results shown the difference between the entering(dropping) selection rules.
