developed to help make tactical decisions under uncertainty and data shortage for flow management of empty containers over a … predetermined planning horizon. Employing the operational law of uncertainty programming, a new auxiliary chance … uncertain network and those in an auxiliary deterministic network. Exploiting this new problem, we give the uncertainty …

The elastic generalized assignment problem (eGAP) is a natural extension of the generalized assignment problem (GAP) where the capacities are not fixed but can be adjusted which is expressed by continuous variables. These variables might be un-bounded or restricted by a lower or upper bound,...
