For a fixed positive integer k, a function f: V (G) → {0,1,2} is a Roman k-dominating function on G if every vertex valued 0 under f is adjacent to at least k vertices valued 2 under f. In this paper, inspired by the concept of alliances in graphs, we revisit the concept of Roman k-domination by not-fixing k. We prove upper bounds for the new variant in cactus graphs and characterize cactus graph achieving equality for the given bound. We also present a probabilistic upper bound for this variant.","PeriodicalId":20872,"journal":{"name":"RAIRO Oper.

Fused Lasso can effectively handle high dimensional sparse data with strong correlation between two adjacent variables under known Gaussian noise. However, it has poor robustness to nonGaussian noise with heavy-tailed distribution. Robust fused Lasso with l1 norm loss function can overcome the drawback of fused Lasso when noise is heavy-tailed distribution. But the key challenge for solving this model is nonsmoothness and its nonseparability. Therefore, in this paper, we first deform the robust fused Lasso into an easily solvable form, which changes the three-block objective function to a two-block form. Then, we propose an accelerated proximal alternating direction method of multipliers (APADMM) with an additional update step, which is base on a new PADMM that changes the Lagrangian multiplier term update. Furthermore, we give the O(1/K) nonergodic convergence rate analysis of the proposed APADMM. Finally, numerical results show that the proposed new PADMM and APADMM have better performance than other existing ADMM solvers.","PeriodicalId":20872,"journal":{"name":"RAIRO Oper.

A hierarchical structure, with different levels in the selection of suppliers, is employed, wherein sequential decisions are made from the highest to the lowest level. Decision variables, called controlling factors, are divided into several categories. In the decision-making process, often because of the lack of confidence or uncertainty, It becomes hard for decision-makers to give explicit/crisp values to any parameter, resulting in uncertainty in the problem. In this paper, we address a multi-level supplier selection problem with fuzzy supply and demand. To avoid decision conflicts, superior or upper-level decision makers give tolerances that could be used as a possible relaxation. Thus, the problem is employed with fuzzy constraints. Based on a neutrosophic decision set, the Neutrosophic Compromise Programming Approach (NCPA) is used as a solution technique with the idea of indeterminacy degree as well as different objectives for membership and non-membership degree. Membership functions (Linear-type) are used to develop satisfactory solutions by fuzzily describing objective functions as well as controlling factors. A numerical illustration is provided to demonstrate the validity and appropriateness of NCPA.","PeriodicalId":20872,"journal":{"name":"RAIRO Oper.

It has applications in sparse linear systems, database management and computer vision programming. In this article, we developed a biased random-key genetic algorithm (BRKGA) for solving the chordal completion problem, based on the strategy of manipulating permutations that represent perfect elimination orderings of triangulations. Computational results show that the proposed heuristic improve the results of the constructive heuristics fill-in and min-degree. We also developed a strategy for injecting externally constructed feasible solutions coded as random keys into the initial population of the BRKGA that significantly improves the solutions obtained and may benefit other implementations of biased random-key genetic algorithms.","PeriodicalId":20872,"journal":{"name":"RAIRO Oper.

Then by using some simple analysis tools, we present a primal-dual interior point method (IPM) for P*(κ)-horizontal linear complementarity problems based on this kernel function.

Lean manufacturing aims to incorporate innovative tools into the manufacturing process to improve productivity and reduce processing time. In view of this, the model anticipates a flexible production rate based on labor, energy, and tool/die costs, to meet the demand while minimizing wastage. Moreover, a discrete investment in set-up costs is considered to lower the initial set-up cost since it is a critical component of smooth manufacturing operations. Further, it is found that price plays a significant role in stimulating a product’s demand; consequently, demand is presumed to be price-sensitive. Besides this, to reduce the carbon footprint in the production systems, two methods namely 'Carbon tax' and 'Cap-and-trade,' have been employed. The purpose of the developed model is to maximize total profit by jointly optimizing the production rate, selling price, and set-up cost. Numerical experiments are performed to validate the model findings. Results suggest that manufacturers' production time decreases simultaneously with the introduction of advanced labor and technologies. With respect to carbon policies, cap-and-trade policy performs better with an increase in total profit and a higher production rate as compared to that of carbon tax. Also, sensitivity analysis is performed to support the manufacturer in the decision-making process for ancillary benefits of the optimal policy.","PeriodicalId":20872,"journal":{"name":"RAIRO Oper.
