Evolution explains the way the natural world changes over time. It can also explain changes in the artificial world, such as the way ideas replicate, alter, and merge. This analogy has led to a family of related computer procedures called evolutionary algorithms. These algorithms are being used...

In this work, we solve a real-world facility location problem by means of a mixed integer linear programming model. The problem is faced by an Italian multi-utility company operating in the sector of waste management. The company works in several Italian regions to collect and treat the urban...

The article is devoted to the synthesis of optimal control of the conveyor belt with the accumulating input bunker. Much attention is given to the model of the conveyor belt with a constant speed of the belt. Simulation of the conveyor belt is carried out in the one-moment approximation using...

Context. A method for constructing an algorithm for stabilizing the interoperability of a production line is considered. The object of the study was a model of a multi-operational production line. Objective. The goal of the work is to develop a method for constructing an optimal algorithm for...

PRECON S.A is a manufacturing company dedicated to produce prefabricated concrete parts to several industries as rail transportation and agricultural industries.Recently, PRECON signed a contract with RENFE, the Spanish National Rail Transportation Company to manufacture pre-stressed concrete...

Context. The problem of optimal control of flow parameters of a conveyor-type transport system containing sections with reversible conveyors is considered. The object of the stady was an analytical model of a reversible transport conveyor for synthesizing an algorithm for optimal control of the...

The area under Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve, also known as the AUC-index, is commonly used for ranking the performance of data mining models. The AUC has many merits, such as objectivity and ease of interpretation. However, since it is class indifferent, its usefulness while...

Results of data envelopment analysis sensitively respond to stochastic noise in the data. In this paper, by introduction of output augmentation and input reduction I extend additive models for stochastic data envelopment analysis (SDEA), which were developed by Li (1998) to handle the noise in...

The main aim of this work is the development of mathematical model, which describes the dynamics of mass product output on the manufactures. This model gives an opportunity to find out the conditions for stable work of manufacture and the conditions for optimal operation. At present in the...
