The aim of this paper is to investigate the information aggregation operators method under the interval-valued picture fuzzy environment with the help of Frank norms operations. The picture fuzzy set is an extended version of the intuitionistic fuzzy set, which not only considers the degree of acceptance or rejection but also takes into the account of neutral degree during the analysis. Under these environments, some basic aggregation operators namely interval-valued picture fuzzy Frank weighted averaging operator, interval-valued picture fuzzy Frank ordered weighted averaging operator, interval-valued picture fuzzy Frank hybrid averaging operator, interval-valued picture fuzzy Frank weighted geometric operator, interval-valued picture fuzzy Frank ordered weighted geometric operator, and interval-valued picture fuzzy Frank hybrid geometric operator are proposed in this paper. Some general properties of these operators such as idempotency, commutativity, monotonicity, and boundedness, are discussed. Furthermore, the method for multiple attribute group decision making problems based on these operators is developed and the operational processes are illustrated in detail. Finally, an illustrative example has been given to show the decision steps of the proposed method and to demonstrate their effectiveness.","PeriodicalId":54509,"journal":{"name":"Rairo-Operations Research","volume":"143 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135475983","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Traffic congestion is considered as the most difficult challenge to tackle for sustainable urban mobility and is aggravated by the increased freight activity due to e-commerce and on-demand delivery and the explosive growth in transportation network companies and ride-hailing services. There is a need to implement a combination of policies to ensure that increased urban traffic congestion does not lower the quality of life and threaten global climate and human health and to prevent further economic losses. This study aims to contribute to the United Nations (UN) climate action and sustainable development goals in tackling recurring traffic congestion problem in urban areas to achieve a sustainable urban mobility in that it offers a solution methodology for traffic assignment problem. We introduce an exact generalized solution methodology based on reformulation of existing traffic assignment problems as a second order cone programming (SOCP) problem and propose column generation (CG) and cutting plane (CP) algorithms to solve the problem effectively for large scale road network instances. We conduct numerical experiments to test the performance of the proposed algorithms on realistic road networks.","PeriodicalId":54509,"journal":{"name":"Rairo-Operations Research","volume":"7 4","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134910013","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Herein, we develop a new community fresh marketing model composed of retailers for online operating costs and consumers for low consumer utility by dividing community consumers into essential type and expectant type in this study. Then, the profit functions of community fresh retailers are developed in this study according to utility theory. Finally, a revised model of the fresh quality transparency (FQT) factor is conducted and discussed in this study. The results suggest that the profits obtained from essential consumers and expectant consumers by the community fresh e-commerce retailers are higher within a certain range of freshness costs compared to the basic model’s projection; meanwhile, the profits from expectant consumers contribute more than those from essential consumers. However, if the freshness cost exceeds a certain critical value, the abovementioned profits predicted from the new model will be lower. This study enriches the supply chain theory of community fresh food and provides retailers with theoretical guidance on differentiated services and pricing to better match the needs of community consumers.","PeriodicalId":54509,"journal":{"name":"Rairo-Operations Research","volume":"104 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135217897","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Individuals enter the system in accordance with the renewal process and catastrophe occurs as per the Poisson process. The catastrophe attacks the population in a successive order in batches of random size, each batch of individuals dies with probability ξ. This successive process ends when the whole population is wiped out or a batch of individuals survives with probability 1 −ξ. This type of killing pattern is known as geometric catastrophe. The supplementary variable technique is used to develop the steady-state governing equations. Further using the difference operator, the distributions of population size are evaluated at arbitrary, pre-arrival, and post-catastrophe epochs. In addition to that, a few different measurements of the system’s performance are derived. In order to demonstrate the applicability of the model, a number of numerical and graphical outcomes are presented in the form of tables and graphs.","PeriodicalId":54509,"journal":{"name":"Rairo-Operations Research","volume":"4 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134974020","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using the well-known Karush-Kuhn-Tucker optimality conditions, we obtain analytic formula for an optimal solution. Moreover, we determine the whole efficient frontier by multi-criteria optimization techniques. Based on the theoretical results, two algorithms are proposed for finding the portfolio weights and the efficient frontier.

Let Gn,d be the set of n-vertex connected graphs with odd diameter d, where each graph G in Gn,d has a diametrical path whose center edge is a cut edge of G. For any graph G in Gn,d, we construct a weighted graph Hω such that its adjacency matrix is just the eccentricity matrix of G, where H is the sequential join graph of the complement graphs of four disjoint complete graphs. In terms of the energy and spectral radius of the weighted graphs, we determine the graphs with minimum eccentricity energy, minimum and maximum eccentricity spectral radius, respectively, in Gn,d.

The objective is to maximize the total demand of data to be routed, while ensuring technical requirements such as hop constraints and edge capacity. The problem is formulated using a compact mixed-integer programming model, which can solve small- and medium-sized topologies. In addition, a fast constructive heuristic based on a maximal tree is developed to solve large-scale topologies, resulting in a significant reduction in CPU time. The quality of the heuristic is evaluated by using column generation for solving the linear programming relaxation of an exponential formulation. The computational study shows the effectiveness and value of the proposed compact model and constructive heuristic for various topology sizes. Furthermore, experiments demonstrates that by keeping the network setup constant and updating the demand vector only, the computational time of the compact model can be drastically reduced for all topology sizes.","PeriodicalId":54509,"journal":{"name":"Rairo-Operations Research","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135855219","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this work, we study the graceful labeling problem in the context of maker-breaker graph games. The Graceful Game was introduced by Tuza, in 2017, as a two-players game on a connected graph in which the players, Alice and Bob, take moves labeling the vertices with distinct integers from $0$ to $m$. Players are constrained to use only legal labelings (moves), that is, after a move, all edge labels are distinct. Alice's goal is to obtain a graceful labeling for the graph, as Bob's goal is to prevent it from happening. In this work, we study winning strategies for Alice and Bob in graph classes: paths, complete graphs, cycles, complete bipartite graphs, caterpillars, trees, gear graphs, web graphs, prisms, hypercubes, 2-powers of paths, wheels and fan graphs.","PeriodicalId":54509,"journal":{"name":"Rairo-Operations Research","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136294278","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
