The main purpose of this study is to find out the optimal solution of the vehicle routing problem considering heterogeneous vehicle(s), double-trips, and multi depots. This study suggests a mathematical programming model with new numerical formula which considers the amount of delivery and sub-tour elimination and gives optimal solution by using OPL-STUDIO(ILOG). This study also suggests modified genetic algorithm which considers the improvement of the creation method for initial solution, application of demanding point, individual and last learning method in order to find excellent solution, survival probability of infeasible solution for allowance, and floating mutation rate for escaping from local solution. The suggested modified genetic algorithm is compared with optimal solution of the existing problems. We found the better solution rather than the existing genetic algorithm. The suggested modified genetic algorithm is tested by Eilon and Fisher data(Eilon 22, Eilon 23, Eilon 30, Eilon 33, and Fisher 10), respectively.

In the optimized design of an actual structure, the design variable should be selected among any certain values or corresponds to a discrete design variable that needs to handle the size of a pre-formatted part. Various algorithms have been developed for discrete design. As recently reported, the sequential algorithm with orthogonal arrays(SOA), which is a local minimum search algorithm in discrete space, has excellent local minimum search ability. It reduces the number of function evaluation using orthogonal arrays. However it only finds a local minimum and the final solution depends on the initial value. In this research, the genetic algorithm, which defines an initial population with the potential solution in a global space, is adopted in SOA. The new algorithm, sequential algorithm with orthogonal arrays and genetic algorithm(SOAGA), can find a global solution with the properties of genetic algorithm and the solution is found rapidly with the characteristics of SOA.

Generally the Multiprocessor Scheduling (MPS) problem is difficult to solve because of the precedence of the tasks, and it takes a lot of time to obtain its optimal solution. Though Genetic Algorithm (GA) does not guarantee the optimal solution, it is practical and effective to solve the MPS problem in a reasonable time. The algorithm developed in this research consists of a improved GA and GP/MISF (Critical Path/Most Immediate Successors First). An efficient genetic operator is derived to make GA more efficient. It runs parallel CP/MISF with GA to complement the faults of GA. The solution by the developed algorithm is compared with that of CP/MISF, and the better is taken as a final solution. As a result of comparative analysis by using numerical examples, although this algorithm does not guarantee the optimal solution, it can obtain an approximate solution that is much closer to the optimal solution than the existing GA's.

The purpose of this paper is to develop a new heuristic algorithm for vehicle routing problem. The algorithm is composed of two steps. First step is to make a initial solution using sweeping algorithm. Second step is to improve initial solution for optimal solution using node exchange algorithm and tabu search algorithm. We have proven that our algorithm has produced better results than solutions obtained by saving algorithm and genetic in ten example problems with different unit size.

This paper suggests simple search algorithm for optimal solution in assignment problem. Generally, the optimal solution of assignment problem can be obtained by Hungarian algorithm. The proposed algorithm reduces the 4 steps of Hungarian algorithm to 1 step, and only selects the minimum cost of row and column then gets the optimal solution simply. For the 27 balanced and 7 unbalanced assignment problems, this algorithm finds the optimal solution but the genetic algorithm fails to find this values. This algorithm improves the time complexity O($n^3$) of Hungarian algorithm to O(n). Therefore, the proposed algorithm can be general algorithm for assignment problem replace Hungarian algorithm.

A GPS measurement solution, in general, is obtained as a least squares solution since the measurement includes errors such as clock errors, ionospheric and tropospheric delays, multipath effect etc. Because of the nonlinearity of the measurement equation, we utilize the nonlinear Newton algorithm to obtain a least squares solution, or mostly, use its linearized algorithm which is more convenient and effective. In this study we developed a fixed point algorithm and proved its availability to replace the nonlinear Newton algorithm and the linearized algorithm. A nonlinear Newton algorithm and a linearized algorithm have the advantage of fast convergence, while their initial values have to be near the unknown solution. On the contrary, the fixed point algorithm provides more reliable but slower convergence even if the initial values are quite far from the solution. Therefore, two types of algorithms may be combined to achieve better performance.

In this paper, we raised the performance of heuristic algorithm to assign job to workers in parallel line inspection process without sequence. In previous research, we developed the heuristic algorithm. But the heuristic algorithm can't find optimal solution perfectly. In order to solve this problem, we proposed new method to make initial solution called FN(First Next) method and combined the new FN method and old FE method using previous heuristic algorithm. Experiments of assigning job are performed to evaluate performance of this FE+FN heuristic algorithm. The result shows that the FE+FN heuristic algorithm can find the optimal solution to assign job to workers evenly in many type of cases. Especially, in case there are optimal solutions, this heuristic algorithm can find the optimal solution perfectly.

In this paper, we propose a simple linear bottleneck assignment problems (LBAP) algorithm to find the optimal solution. Generally, the LBAP has been solved by threshold or augmenting path algorithm. The primary characteristic of proposed algorithm is derived the optimal solution of LBAP from linear sum assignment problem (LSAP). Firstly, we obtains the solution for LSAP from the selected minimum cost of rows and moves the duplicated costs in row to unselected row with minimum increasing cost in direct and indirect paths. Then, we obtain the optimal solution of LBAP according to the maximum cost of LSAP can be move to less cost. For the 29 balanced and 7 unbalanced problem, this algorithm finds optimal solution as simple.

The aim of the present study is to find a good quality user equilibrium assignments under time varying condition. For this purpose, this study introduces a dynamic network loading method that can maintain correct flow propagation as well as flow conservation, and it develops a novel solution algorithm that does not need evaluation of the objective function by modifying the Schittenhelm (1990)'s algorithm. This novel algorithm turns out to be efficient and convenient compared to the conventional Frank-Wolfe (1956) algorithm because the former finds solutions based on routes rather than links so that it can maintain correct flow propagation intrinsically in the time-varying network conditions. The application of dynamic user equilibrium (DUE) assignment model with this novel solution algorithm to test networks including medium-sized one shows that the present DUE assignment model gives rise to high quality discrete time solutions when we adopt the deterministic queuing model for a link performance function, and we associate flows and costs in a proper way.
