NETWORK FEOW APPROACH TO RELIABILITY EVALUATION IN IARGE SCALE NETWORKS BY MIXING INCREASING ELOW WITH DECREASING FLOW

Based on the maximum flow principle about networks, a network flow approach to reliability evaluation in large scale netwerks ty mixing inereasing flow with decreasing flow is proposed in this paper.This approach gets the initial flow of each branch in a r.etwork associated with a state of the retwork by decreasing flows of some branches correlative to another state of the network.As a result, the number of flow compute required can be reduced enormously.The numerical example shows that the approach is powerful. The comparison of this approach with the minimal cutset one is also given in this paper.     

Third-party Logistics Subcontract Design Based on Bilevel Programming

The research theme of this paper is about how third-party logistics provider design a kind of effective incentive mechanism which can not only avoid the moral hazard behavior of the subcontractor , but also promote subcontractor to raise the serving performance constantly, until obtaining the best TPL performance .Through building bilevel programming model where constructing the Nash equilibrium model this paper, the anthors assume subcontract decision variable as endogenetic variable first, and then analyze the optimal solution with the restraint of Nash equilibrium at the time of decision variable as exogenous variable, push the subcontract relationship research at the principal-agent level into the lay that principal-agent combining with whole contract performance optimal decision.

A Dynamic Model for Generation Expansion Planning and Algorithm

This paper discusses the problem of long-range generation expansion planning. A dynamic model for long-range expansion planning is set up and an algorithm-a two-step programming is presented, which is used here in a case.     

A DUAL ALGORITHM OF PIECEWISE LINEAR PROGRAMMING WITH SUCCESSIVELY INCREASING SLOPES

A fast dual algorithm is presented for the piecewise linear programming with successively increasing slopes. The concept of the pointer is used to derive the optimality and the feasibility conditions based on the dual simplex principle, which avoids enlarging the scale of the problem due to introducing piecewise variables so that storage and calculating requirements are reduced. Finally,the example is given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the presented algorithm.     

A Study on the Mathematical Models for Two Dimensional Guillotine Cullting-stock

Based on the analysis and study on some existed models for two-dimensional Guillotine Cutting-Stock problem, it is pointed out that some kinds of the models may miss some good cutting patterns,and some may result in inadequate solutions because of only considering the patterns with the smallest waste. A kind of revised two-dimensional cutting-stock models are developed,which transform the two-dimensional problem into the one-dimensional one using the dimension-decreasing heuristic method and whose initial patterns are considered comprehensively. In this kind of models, not only the least waste,but also the other constraints,such as the demands and the relative area of the order plates are considered.     

File Intertransmission Based on WinSock Component

WinSock is a group of API,which is used to transmit data and exchange information on Internet,the Socket Application programme impoldered by users may communicate with other Socket Application programes by Internet. Delphi provides Socket components,which sustains the TCP/IP protocol and makes the Internet programming acquiring much more flexibility.This paper probes that how to realize transmission of files in any format under nonblocking mode between clients and servers by means of Socket components of Delphi.     

Loads Equalization Based on Optimization Principle and the Hierarchical Model for Distribution Networks

Loss reduction is important for distribution networks and it is available to reduce loss by loads equalization. With increasing numbers of vertexes in distribution networks, compounding of loads are rapid increasing. It is hard to achieve the global optimization for load balancing by traditional model of distribution networks. Base on analyzing character of loads equalization for distribution networks, this paper provides a new method which conjugate the optimization principle and the hierarchical model of the distribution networks, can transfer the optimization issues into multi stage decision making problems,and can also achieve the optimization equalization of the distribution networks loads.     

On a New Lower Order Exact Penalty Function

For the inequality constrained nonlinear programming problem, the antnors propose a new lower order penalty function, which combines the classical l1 penalty function and the lower order exact penalty function introduced in thoy some papers, and then illustrate that it has the merits of the two penalty functions. In additional, we propose a solution method for solving the inequality constrained nonlinear programming problem and prove its global convergence.
