| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| When do we use Heuristics | when the problems became very costly to find the optimal solution |
| What does selection of method depedent on (3) | 1, available software 2,cost-benefits consideration 3,complexity of the problem |
| What are polynomial time algoritms | algorith with O(n^c) time like n^2 or n^3 "timely manageble" NOT n! or c^n |
| What is true about (M)IP problems (3) | 1, some dont have known exact POLYNOMIAL TIME algorithm 2,some fullfiel integrity (whole integer solutions) automatically like MCFP 3, in most cases optimalization problem can be solved in polynomial time |
| What are reasons for Heuristic usage (5) | 1, they are often simplier / easier 2, constrained computation time or memory 3, real-world problems may be too difficult to solved exactly 4, can help understand decisions 5, even exact procedurs may use heuristic component |
| What are 3 types of Heuristics | 1, Construction Heurstistics = generate a first solution 2, Improvement Heuristic = improve initial solution until a stopping criterio is met 3,Metaheuristic = high-level algorithm |
| How does Greedy Algorithm works (2) | 1, start with no or initial solution 2,select the best-looking next step |
| What are two greedy algorithm for Facility Location Problems | 1, Add Heuristic 2,Drop Heuristic |
| How does Add Heuristic works (3) | 1, Initial Solution >> No location is selected 2,Iterate >> add a single location with the largest saving compared to allocation costs & fixed cost of opening a new location 3, Terminate >> No more improvement possible |
| How does Drop Heuristic works (3) | 1, Initial Solution >> all location are selected 2, Iteration >> Removed a single location based on difference between fixed costs and increase of allocation costs of closing a location 3, Terminated >> No possible improvements |
| What are Notations for Add & Drop FLP (5) | 1, I = set of all costumers 2, J = set of all locations 3, S⊆J = currectly selected location 4, N⊆J = location excluded from the solution 5, E⊆J = location forced open in the solution |
| What are starting point of Add & Drop for FLP | Add Heuristic >>> S=N= ∅ Drop Heuristic >>> S=J ; E= ∅ |
| What is the objective function of Add & Drop Heuristics | ci(S) = min{ c(i,j) : j ∈ S } |
| What is difference between Adjacency Matrix and Incidence Matrix | Adjecency Matrix = both row and column nodes >> 1 - nodes connected , 0 - otherwise Incidence Matrix = node rwo, column node/edge >> 1 outcoming, -1 incoming, 0 therwise |
| What is difference between Undirected and Directed Graph | Undirected - connection do not have a fix direction Directed - connections go only one way |
| What is a difference between edge & arc | edge - connection between nodes arc - edge with a direction |
| What is (in/out)degree of a node (3) | Degree of a node = number of incidence edge (to how many other nodes is connected) Outdegree = Number of arcs outcoming Indegree = Number of arcs incoming |
| What is Binding Constrain | the considered solution has equality with the constrain |
| What can I forgot when marking corners of a LP | the (0,0) and other at 0 point |
| What does Domain mean | which value are decision variables allowed to take x ∈{0,1} , x∈Z+ etc |
