    Author : Gholamreza Razmara; Oli Madsen; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MATHEMATICS; MATEMATIK;

    Abstract : The focus of this dissertation is on constructing optimization models and developing solution methods for Snow Removal Routing Problems with Time V\lindows. Two cases, after and during snowfall, are studied. READ MORE

  6. 4. Optimal Truck Scheduling : Mathematical Modeling and Solution by the Column Generation Principle

    Author : Myrna Palmgren; Torbjörn Larsson; Niklas Kohl; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; optimisation; pickup and delivery problem; transportation; scheduling; column generation; integer programming; MATHEMATICS; MATEMATIK;

    Abstract : We consider the daily transportation problem in forestry which arises when transporting logs from forest sites to customers such as sawmills and pulp and paper mills. Each customer requires a specific amount of a certain assortment, and the deliveries to the customers can be made within time intervals, known as time windows. READ MORE

  7. 5. Numerical methods for the chemical master equation

    Author : Stefan Engblom; Per Lötstedt; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Scientific Computing; Beräkningsvetenskap;

    Abstract : The numerical solution of chemical reactions described at the meso-scale is the topic of this thesis. This description, the master equation of chemical reactions, is an accurate model of reactions where stochastic effects are crucial for explaining certain effects observed in real life. READ MORE
