In this paper is presented a distributed algorithm based on Ant System concepts,called Combinatorial Ant System, to solve dynamic combinatorial optimization problems. Our approach consists of mapping the solution space of ...

The capacitor placement problem for radial distribution networks aims to determine capacitor types, sizes, locations and control scheme. This is a combinatorial problem that can be formulated as a mixed integer nonlinear ...

Se presenta el Sudoku como un problema de optimización combinatorial de única solución y se propone un modelo matemático que lo representa. Se aplican las técnicas de optimización combinatorial Búsqueda Tabú y Algoritmos ...

Neural networks consist of highly interconnected and parallel nonlinear processing elements that are shown to be extremely effective in computation. This paper presents an architecture of recurrent neural net-works that ...

The capacitor placement (replacement) problem for radial distribution networks determines capacitor types, sizes, locations and control schemes. Optimal capacitor placement is a hard combinatorial problem that can be ...

We study dynamic decision making under uncertainty when, at each period, a decision maker implements a solution to a combinatorial optimization problem. The objective coefficient vectors of said problem, which are unobserved ...
