This paper proposed the Lagrangian optimization model for Optimal Power Flow (OPF) problem. It is designed by relaxing the constraints from the Quadratic Programming (QP) problem. The objective of this model is to minimize the total cost of active power generation. The solution of QP is obtained by different optimization techniques like Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) method, Genetic Algorithm (GA), Differential Evolution (DE) algorithm. In this paper, the optimum value of QP is obtained by the proposed model and it is compared with other methods PSO, GA, DE. The results of the methods have been tested through the standard IEEE 30 bus system. Based on numerical calculations and graphical representation, the optimal generation cost for OPF can be achieved.Keywords

Stochastic systems play a prominent role in computer graphics, because of their success in modeling a variety of complex and natural phenomena. Routing plays a vital role on the performance and functionality of computer networks. Routing networks means identifying a path in the network that optimizes a certain criterion which is called as Quality of Service (QoS) routing. The main aim of seclusion is minimizing the reckoning effort by maximizing the probability of having a path between source-destination pairs in the network. This paper deals with the specification and analysis of routing procedures which are effective for large hoard and promote packet switched computer networks. The new concept of stochastic seclusion method is introduced to resolve the scalability in QoS routing algorithm. A queue discipline in multiclass network is analyzed. An optimization algorithm is designed for seclusion strategy using stochastic technique in which the routing functions in the network are being increased. Numerical calculations and graphical representation shows that the proposed method improves the performance measure in terms of reduction in reckoning effort.Keywords

Production level of a company increases mainly based on the demand and needs of that location. Facility location models are used to determine the optimal locations based on operating cost, accessibility of the existing, and future facilities. Selection of Location in supply chain for constructing a firm, is based on quantitative and qualitative factors. It is assessed by linguistic variables under fuzzy environment where uncertainty, vagueness, and subjectivity are handled. This paper deals with the design of Fuzzy multi objective Linear Programming model, integrated with Fuzzy VIKOR method. Fuzzy VIKOR method is used for assessing the qualitative factors and mathematical model such as Fuzzy Mixed Integer Linear programming is used for assessing the quantitative factors. Fuzzy VIKOR focuses on ranking&selecting from a set of alternatives in the presence of conflicting criteria by comparing the measure of "Closeness" to the "ideal" alternative, and thus to discover a best solution. It provides a rational, systematic process, to discover a best solution. It is used to resolve a fuzzy multi-person, multi-criteria decision-making problem. It also allows decision makers to specify the preferred solution for a given decision problem in real organizational settings. Fuzzy Multi Objective Linear Programming is used to find the optimum solution. A case example is illustrated for location selection of a firm, and the results are validated by integrating Fuzzy Mixed Integer Linear Programming with Fuzzy VIKOR method.Keywords

This paper mainly deals with the analysis of communication network for electricity distribution using Distribution Dispatch Centre (DDC) which is monitored and controlled by Supervising Control And Data Acquisition / Distribution Management System (SCADA / DMS). DDC controls the computer based substation control systems. Access of the control channel can be formulated as a Non-Linear Integer Programming (NLIP) which can be decomposed by Lagrangian Relaxation (LR) technique. The objective of the model is to maximize the inputs of the control parameters for the feeders and to obtain the optimal scheduling decision for each power flow. The optimal scheduling decision is obtained from the Lagrangian dual optimization problem. A duality gap exists between the lower bound and the objective function value provided by the Non-Linear Integer Programming feasibility heuristic. The optimum value is obtained by the scheduling algorithm. Based on numerical calculations and graphical representations, the feeder route losses are minimized with respect to control parameters.Keywords

Congestion control is one of the most fundamental problems in computer networks and has been widely studied for decades. The flow control in computer communication networks is modeled by the application of a Markovian queuing system. The main aim of the flow control of Markovian queueing network with multiple controllers is (i) to maximize the average network throughput subject to a constraint on the average network delay (ii) under individual objectives where each users maximizes the corresponding average user throughput subject to the average user time delay constraint. The network optimization problems depend on the parameters of the network only through the conditional estimates of the total arrival and the total departure rates. Using linear programming problem, the network optimal flow control is showed to be a window mechanism. The optimal decentralized flow control under the user's performance in a multiple objective optimization problem is analyzed which leads to a game theoretic formulation with constraints. Structural constraints are obtained for the user optimization criterion under the results of separation theorem. The application of product form queueing is considered in the point to point packet switching network. Multiple routing chains are used to model the different routing behavior of packets. In point to point switching network, a packet can steps forward from one node to the next beside the route allocation. The performance measures which describe the packet transported by the network between the source and sink pairs. Nash equilibrium solution of this formulation is demonstrated to be a set of window-type mechanisms. The application of the Nash equilibrium concepts in decentralized flow control with throughput and time delay criteria which represents a behavior of a system are obtained.

This paper mainly deals with the analysis of multiple server queues (M/M/C):(GD/∞/∞) and (M/M/∞): (GD/∞/∞). c parallel servers for (c≥1) is considered for (M/M/C):(GD/∞/∞), so that, c customers may be in service at the same time. Further, it is assumed that all the channels have the same service (exponential) distribution with mean rate μ per unit time. Since the probability of one service is μh, the probability that one out of n (n≤c) services are completed during h follows a binomial distribution. (M/M/∞): (GD/∞/∞) model describes a situation with state dependent service rates where the number of servers is directly proportional to the number in the system. This unlimited server situations may occur in self-service facilities. Based on the numerical calculations and Graphical representations, the feasibility of the system is analyzed. When the mean system size and the queue size is high, optimized value is obtained so that the total expected cost is minimized. The aim of this study is to compare the properties namely mean service rate and based on the length of the queues. Probability of service of the models (M/M/C):(GD/∞/∞) and (M/M/∞):(GD/∞/∞) have been discussed. By using numerical calculation and graphical representations, analysis of such a queue can be done by solving mean system size and queue size.Keywords

Manufacturing firm focuses on maximizing the profit by satisfying the customer demands with respect to quantity, quality, cost etc. To achieve the goal they give importance to optimum utilization of available resources. Information available in real life system is of vague, imprecise and uncertain nature. The impreciseness and uncertainty aspects are handled using fuzzy sets to obtain optimal solution. In practice, choosing membership thresholds arbitrarily may result in an infeasible optimization problem. Even though we can adjust minimum satisfaction degree to get fuzzy efficient solution it sometimes makes the process of interaction more complicated. The present paper demonstrates how vagueness and imprecision in the objective function values can be quantified by membership functions in a Fuzzy multi objective frame work. It focuses on optimizing production management model using real world data of a packaging industry. Production model intends to determine the sales value of each product produced in order to achieve objectives (i.e.) maximize profit, minimize wastes etc. Multiple objective functions in the linear programming model are handled by fuzziness in the parameters. Fuzzy linear programming approach exhibits greater computational efficiency by employing the linear membership functions to represent fuzzy numbers.Keywords

The systematic growth of vacation queueing model in recent part is described in this paper .An M/G/1 queue with probability association is also analyzed in this paper. A two phase service queueing system with multiple server vacation is the subject matter. Service to customer starts with a batch mode service in the phase-I followed by individual mode service in phase – II. Each customer may or may not balk on the arrival at the queue. As soon as the system becomes empty, the server starts taking sequence of different distributed vacations. The number of Poisson arrivals during the time interval is distributed as the forward recurrence time of vacation and the number of customers present in the standard M/G/1 queueing system is random. Based on the numerical values of service rate and mean system time is analyzed in a graphical manner.Keywords

This paper mainly deals with the recent advances in DNA Micro array technologies and the abundance of Genomic information which plays a vital role for analyzing the molecular mechanisms. Statistical and Machine Learning Algorithms are used to analyze the biological implications in order to discover complex gene expression patterns. A Hidden Markov model (HMM) is designed and the maximum penalized likelihood is used to estimate the parameters in this model. This method is applied to lung cancer micro array experiment. Several regions identified through the HMM are consistent with known recurrent regions of amplifications or deletions in cancer. The association of these abnormal expression regions with the measures of disease status, such as tumor stage, differentiation, and survival are being analyzed. Numerical calculations and graphical representations reveals that genes in these regions may play a major role in the process of carcinogenesis of the lungs.Keywords

This paper presents implementation of prospective memory in a mobile robot. Predefined images, sounds are stored in the memory of the robot. When the robot is in use, it can carry out predefined tasks like identifying similar events in the working environment, when such tasks are stored in the memory of the robot. The robot memory can be loaded with different tasks based on requirements on daily basis. Based on the amount of expert knowledge the robot is built in, all defined tasks will be carried out by the robot. The work implements a robot for monitoring of production machines status in an industrial environment. The robot acts as the supervisor and switches a machine on when a task has to be done by the machine. In any case the machine is in idle status, it will be switched off by the robot. Video information of the robot moving in a manufacturing with the presence of sounds from machines are recorded and used for further analysis. The sounds acquired have been analyzed using cepstral analysis to identify the machines working status and the video information is processed with contextual clustering for proper image segmentation to enable robot move along the path of working cell for further monitoring.Keywords

This paper mainly deals with the analysis of belief propagation iterative method on Bayesian network in terms of Gaussian random variable. This paper designs a duality between graph structures and probability models in terms of belief propagation. A graphical model is designed to represent the probabilistic relationships between random variables. The variables are represented by nodes and the conditional independencies or dependencies are represented by edges. Undirected edges give the correlation between variables which is defined as Markov random field. Directed edges give Casuality relationships between variables defined as Bayesian networks. Graphical models provide a natural tool for dealing with two problems such as uncertainty and complexity that occur throughout applied mathematics and engineering. Many of the classical, multivariate probabilistic systems studied in the fields of statistics, systems engineering, information theory, pattern recognition and statistical mechanics are special cases of the general graphical model formalism. An algorithm is designed for Gaussian belief propagation and the solution for the system of linear equations is obtained. Based on the network this algorithm runs and the convergence is obtained in comparison with other methods.Keywords

Agriculture is the backbone of India’s economy. It plays a predominant role in deciding the nation’s GDP and in establishing the standard of living of dependants. At present, with advancement in technology and due to urbanization, the role of agriculture is declining. The viability of investment becomes doubtful as most of the farmers are in the poverty line. Agricultural growth is possible only with adequate finance and employment of appropriate technology. The implementation of new techniques also requires finance. The financial requirement of farmers can be set off through the credit facilities provided by various financial institutions. The main aspect of agricultural credit scheme is to provide and ensure supply of required finance to the needy people. So, the financial institutions have to create awareness on the credit facilities available and satisfy the increasing credit needs of the agricultural sector. Further, the beneficiaries of credit facilities may also face certain problems in availing and repayment of credit. In this regard, the present study focuses on farmers’ behavior towards agricultural credit in Tiruppur District. The sample respondents required for the study have been selected by employing multistage random sampling technique. The association between demographic variables and farmers’ behavior towards repayment of agricultural credit was analyzed by using chi-square test and their problems in obtaining credit was examined with Henry Garrett’s Ranking Technique. It was found that there is a significant association between age and repayment of agricultural credit by the farmers. Further, it was noticed that the most important problem faced by the farmers in the study area is the high rate of interest charged by the banks and other financial institutions.Keywords
