Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordTHE LINEAR PROGRAMMING APPROACH ON A-P SUPER-EFFICIENCY DATA ENVELOPMENT ANALYSIS MODEL OF INFEASIBILITY OF SOLVING MODELChiao-Ping Bao, Chen-Hu Jeng, Ching-Chung Guey, Chien-Liang LinThe traditional CCR or BCC model in DEA for DMU assessment often come out with multiple efficiency units, which cause problems in rank ordering. Therefore, we intended to improve level of discrimination among Decision Making Units (DMUs). The present study thus seeks to solve the above-mentioned problems of discrimination and infeasible solutions in A-P super-efficient mode by proposing a feasible … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 3 Feb 2014 · 6,839 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordAn Improved Clustering Based Genetic Algorithm for Solving Complex NP ProblemsR. Sivaraj, T. RavichandranProblem statement: The selection process is a major factor in genetic algorithm which determines the optimality of solution for a complex problem. The selection pressure is the critical step which finds out the best individuals in the entire population for further genetic operators. The proposed algorithm tries to find out the best individuals with reduced selection pressure than standard genetic … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 7 · 28 Jun 2011 · 6,928 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordSolving Linear Programming Problems on the Parallel Virtual Machine EnvironmentJrJung Lyu, Hsing Luh, Ming-Chang LeeThis study developed a parallel algorithm to efficiently solve linear programming models. The proposed algorithm utilizes the Dantzig-Wolfe Decomposition Principle and can be easily implemented in a general distributed computing environment. The analytical performance of the well-known method, including the speedup upper bound and lower bound limits, was derived. Numerical experiments are also provided in order to verify the complexity … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2004 · 7,837 accessesView PDF Cite
