The maximum principle and its application to industrial engineering problems

Creator:

Kanbe, Kenji

Abstract:

The maximum principle developed by the Russian mathematician, L.S. Pontryagin is considered to be one of the most significant contributions to the recent advances in mathematical optimization techniques. Unfortunately, most of the published literature on the application of the maximum principle is in the field of control system design, and...

Development and experimental evaluation of branch-and-bound algorithms for determining optimum static job-shop production schedules

Creator:

Ramalingam, P. Rama, 1941-

Abstract:

Branch-and-Bound algorithms are developed to optimally schedule static single- and multi-stage job-shop productions. The 'corollary' of the study is to experimentally verify the effectiveness of branch-and-bound algorithms to overcome the "curse of dimensionality" due to the combinatorial nature of job-shop scheduling problems. The static scheduling problem contemplated in this dissertation...
