Ford-Fulkerson Method for Solving Maximum-Flow Problems

Wed, 22 Nov 2006 22:47:54 +0800

Maximum-Flow Problems

Given the a network has p nodes.
Let N be the set of nodes, N={s0, n_1, n_2, ..., n_p-1 n_p, si}, where s0 and si represent the source and sink of the network.
Let N(i) be the ith node in N. So N(0) is the source and N(p+1) is the sink.
Given the there are q arcs connecting the nodes in the network. This include a virtual arc that connects from the sink si back to the source s0.
Let x(i,j) be the arc linking from node N(i) to node N(j).
Each arc x(i,j) has a maximum capacity given by x(i,j).mc. The virtual arc x(p+1,0) has unlimited capacity.
Each arc x(i,j) has a current flow given by x(i,j).cf.
For a flow to be feasible, it must have the following characteristics:
- For each arc x(i,j), 0 <= x(i,j).cf <= x(i,j).mc.
- For each node N(i), sum(x(j,i).cf) for all j=sum(x(i,k).cf for all k
The maximum flow problem is then to maximize the flow from the source to the sink, which is the same as maximizing the flow from the sink to the source, x(p+1,0).cf

Ford-Fulkerson Method for Solving Maximum-Flow Problems

Initialization: Set all x(i,j).cf to 0. This represents a feasible flow of the network.
Let I be the set of arcs x(i,j) where x(i,j).cf< x(i,j). I represents those arcs whose current flow can be increased.
Let R be the set of arcs x(i,j) where x(i,j).cf>0. R represents those arcs whose current flow can be decreased.
Carry out the following lableling procedure.
- Step 1: Label the source.
- Step 2: Label the nodes and arcs (except the virtual arc x(p+1,0) according to the following rules:
  - If node N(i) is labeled, and node N(j) is unlabeled and arc x(i,j) is in the set I, then label node N(j) and x(i,j). Arc x(i,j) is said to be a forward arc.
  - If node N(j) is unlabeled, and node N(i) is labeled and arc x(j,i) is in the set R, then label node N(j) and arc x(j,i). Arc x(j,i) is said to be a backward arc.
- Step 3: Continue this labeling process until the sink has been labeled or until no more nodes can be labeled. If the sink has been labeled, adjust the flow according the the two cases described below and report step 2. If the sink cannot be labeled, then the flow is optimal.
If the labeling process results in the sink being labeled, then there will be a chain of labeled arcs C leading from the source to the sink. A new feasible flow with increased flow from the source to sink can be obtained by adjusting the the flow of the arcs in C.
If C contains entirely of forward arcs.
- Let k = min(x(i,j).mc-x(i,j).cf)) for all x(i,j) in C.
- k represents the maximum amount of flow that can increased in all arcs of C without violating all capacity constraint.
- Increase the flow in each arc in C by k.
If C contains some forward arcs and some backward arcs.
- Let k1 = min(x(i,j).cf) for all x(i,j) in C^R.
- k1 represents the maximum amount of flow that can be decreased in all arcs of C^R without violating all capacity constraint.
- Let k2 = min(x(i,j).mc-x(i,j).cf)) for all x(i,j) in C^I.
- k2 represents the maximum amount of flow that can increased in all arcs of C^I without violating all capacity constraint.
- Let k=min(k1,k2)
- Increase the flow of each arc in C^I by k and decrease the flow of each arc in C^R by k.

Stowage Planning for Container Ships - Terminology, Issues, Videos, Magazine, References

Mon, 23 Oct 2006 17:59:33 +0800

Terminology

A container ship has its capacity measured in TEU, or Twenty-foot Equivalent Units. For example, a 8000TEU ship can carry up to 8000 twenty-foot containers. A ship contains a list of bays, usually numbered from the front of the ship to the back of the ship. Bays are divided in odd bays and even bays. Even bays are forty-footer bays and can be used to stow forty-foot containers. Each Even bay is made up of two odd bays. For example, bay 2 is made up of bay 1 and bay 3. So in this case there is no bay 4 and the next even bay is bay 6 which is made up of bay 7 and bay 5.

In each bay, each vertical stack of containers is call a row. The numbering of the rows start from the center of the ship and move outwards. One side of the ship will have the set of odd row numbers {1, 3, 5 ...}, while the other side of the ship will have the set of even row numbers {2, 4, 6 ...}.

For each row of containers in a bay, the vertical position of the container is indicated by its tier number. Tiers are numbered from the bottom of the ship upwards. There is a convention that tiers above the hatchcover are numbered starting from 80.

Containers are stowed in a container ship based on a 6-digit code to represent the locations on a ship. The first two numbers indicate which bay of the ship the container is in. The second two numbers indicate which row of the bay the container is in. The last two number indicate which tier of the ship the container is in. For example, a location code of "060402" indicates a ship location in bay 06, row 04 and tier 02.

Issues

Maximization of Stability - GM, bending moment, heel, trim
Minimization of Overstow/rehandling - forced overstow, volunteered overstow
Consideration of Hatch Covers
Optimization for best Crane Splits - crane intensity, blocking
Stowage of Out-of-Guage Containers
Consideration of Hazardous Cargos
Consideration of Port Rotation
Consideration of Balast Management - zero balast

Modelling and simulation, Computational optimization, Parallel and distributed Computing

Abstract:

Interactive digital media environments involving large number of online users require the support of large computational resources to carryout many tasks such as rendering and updating of the environments and its associate entities. This kind of computational resources are traditionally available only on dedicated supercomputers. Recent developments in the field of commodity supercomputing such as multicore programming, GPGPU and cloud-computing need to be studied and adapted to power these interactive digital media applications.

Symbiotic Simulation

Wed, 01 Feb 2006 17:44:00 +0800

Symbiotic Simulation

Symbiotic simulation is an emergent technology proposed by the Parallel and Distributed Simulation working group at the 2002 Dagstuhl seminar on Grand Challenges for Modelling and Simulation (Fujimoto et al., 2002). Es-sentially, a symbiotic simulation system consists of a simu-lation model interacting with the physical system in a mu-tually beneficial way. The simulation system benefits from the continuous supply of the latest data and the automatic validation of its simulation outputs, whereas the physical system benefits from optimized performance obtained from the analysis of simulation experiments. A symbiotic inte-gration of the real-time physical system and the corre-sponding decision support module will enable prompt re-sponse to be carried out to handle abrupt changes in the physical system. The figure below shows a generic structure of a symbiotic simulation system.

Gustafson Law: Reevaluating Amdahl's Law

(Link) Parallelizing an algorithm, however, will soon run into Amdahl's Law, which states that the speedup from parallelizing a process is an inverse function of the portion of the process that is necessarily sequential. Thus, not only do we need good algorithms to minimize the sequential portion of a process, but there is also an upper bound to the speedup we can achieve, even with an infinite number of parallel processors.

While that may be a depressing result, parallel processing has been rescued by Gustafson's Law, which states that while the speedup for a fixed-size process is indeed limited by Amdahl's Law, we can achieve nearly linear speedups if we consider the amount of processing that can be done in a fixed period.

Johnson Algorithm for Two Machines Flow Shop

Sat, 14 Jan 2006 13:13:56 +0800

Johnson Algorithm for Two Machines Flow Shop

In the two-machine flow shop model, job i precedes job j in an optimal sequence if min{a_i, b_j} < min{a_j, b_i}. where a_i and b_i are the processing time of job i on the first and second machine respectively. The proof is due to Johnson (1954). One way to implement the rule is to partition the jobs into two sets. Set I contains jobs in which a_j < b_j and set II contains jobs in which a_j > b_j. An optimal schedule consists of the I-jobs, in nondecreasing order of a_j, followed by the II-jobs, in nonincreasing order of b_j.

Bee Colony Optimization - Jobshop Scheduling, Travelling Salesman Problem

Thu, 12 Jan 2006 00:23:15 +0800

Bee Colony Optimization

The bee colony optimization algorithm is inspired by the behaviour of a honey bee colony in nectar collection. This biologically inspired approach is currently being employed to solve continuous optimization problems, training neural networks, mechanical and electronical componenets design optimization, combinatorial optimization problems such as job shop scheduling, the internet server optimization problem, the travelling salesman problem, etc.
