Their significance is due to just in time delivery and the efficiency of different commodities including food, clothing, energy, computer hardware. This has stimulated researchers and experts to analyze supply chain problems. Meanwhile, uncertainty has penetrated every level of our lives and we encounter it every day. The present paper focuses on green supply chain that consider uncertainty conditions to solve a model for designing a forward green supply network (environmental)under uncertainty of future economic conditions in Iran Khodro Company. The problem of designing the aforementioned network includes hypotheses including multi-commodity, multi-layer and one-period. Due to inconsistent economic conditions, uncertainty has been differently tackled here as compared with previous literature. In this problem, several important parameters have been considered as indefinite including customers’ demands, operating expenses, the productive capacity and relocating capacity of facilities. The proposed model also considers the contamination of production section and the transportation system of the chain and tries to reduce it by suggesting an objective function and Eco-indicator 99 method. As well, production and distribution centers operate in a dual-purpose manner. Saving costs and reducing contamination due to applying transportation supplies and common infrastructures are among the benefits of this method. Considering the complexity of solving this problem and its NP-hard nature, the meta heuristic method of genetic algorithm with non-dominated sorting (NSGAII) was analyzed and finally model performance was examined with a numerical example and solving it with MATLAB and GAMS software.

Today, with the planning of a sustainable supply chain, in addition to achieving economic goals, it is possible to meet social and environmental objectives and considerations. This research deal with sustainable closed-loop supply chain network design and operations planning problem in which is human resource employment and training are considered. First, a three-objective optimization model is developed in which the supply chain network is designed and strategic variables (such as location and capacity determination, technology selection, skilled or semi-skilled employment and training, and etc.) are obtained. Then, a multi-period model is proposed supply chain operations planning in which the amount of production, inventory, shortage, temporary recruitment of manpower, etc. in each period are determined. In the proposed strategic model, a trade-off between the objectives of minimizing the cost of the supply chain (economic), maximizing employment (social), and minimizing environmental impacts is done by augmented epsilon constraint method. Also, Benders decomposition algorithm is used to solve large-scaled instances. In the final section of the research, some numerical studies are presented to provide numerical results, managerial insights and evaluating the performance of the proposed model and solution approaches.

Properly efficient solutions are one of the most important theoretical and practical concepts that represent the behavior of the objective functions during a process change. Actually, these solutions are those efficient solutions that filter the anomalies of objective functions at some points, and this will help the manager to decision making to choose more important solutions. One of the most important tools for obtaining solutions with bounded trade-off in multi-objective optimization field is the Sum weighted scalarization method, which many authors have been studying it in interactive optimization field. This paper provides a method for obtaining properly efficient solutions near the ideal point with a theoretical and interactive view and using Sum weighted scalarization method. Since being near to ideal point will be abele to a preference of decision maker; this method examines the preferences of the decision maker without sacrifice the theory. Therefore, this paper presents an approach to finding properly efficient solutions near to the ideal point. Manuscript profile -

In this paper the problem of selecting and optimizing securities portfolios with different modeling goals has been solved and compared. The designed models have considered both the nature of the portfolio selection issue and the considerations considered by the shareholder in the portfolio selection. The uncertainty quality of the future return of a given portfolio is estimated using fuzzy LR numbers, while its return torques are measured using possibility theory. The most important purpose of this paper is to solve the problem and compare portfolio selection models with simultaneous optimization of two, three, and four objectives. For this purpose, the NSGA-II genetic algorithm is used and the mutation and intersection operators are designed specifically to generate possible solutions to the cardinality constraint of the problem. Finally, the efficiency and performance of the models in case of using fuzzy logic and not using it have been compared and it has been determined that the use of fuzzy logic and possibility theory leads to the formation of portfolios with higher performance and higher efficiency.

Employing some advanced tools of variational analysis such as the approximate extremal principle and the weak fuzzy sum rule for the Frechet subdifferential, we first drive a fuzzy necessary optimality condition of a non-smooth/nonconvex multi-objective optimization problem without any constrained qualification in the sense of the Frechet subdifferential. Then by exploiting the obtained fuzzy optimality condition, the non-smooth version of Fermat’s rule and formulae for the limiting subdifferential of an infinite family of non-smooth functions, we establish a necessary optimality condition in terms of the limiting subdifferential for weakly robust efficient solutions of the reference problem. Further,we present an example to illustrate this condition for an uncertain multi-objective optimization problem involving equality and inequality constraints.Finally sufficient conditions for weakly robust efficient solutions and robust efficient solutions of the problems are provided by presenting new concepts of generalized convexity.

Since Epsilon constraint is one of the most important technique in interactive problems, therefore in this paper, due to the importance of robust optimization and multi-objective programming problems, we consider Multi-Objective Linear Fractional Programming (MOLFP) problem in the presence of box-uncertainty in the coefficients of the objective functions. We propose an approach based on ε-constraint and Charnes-Cooper methods to obtain weakly robust efficient solutions, that have special importance in the literature, for a MOLFP problems in the presence of uncertain data. Charnes-cooper method is applied to reduce a fractional programm to a non fractional programm. At the end we write the robust counterpart of the UMOLFP model in the presence of the box-uncertainty and it's equivalent linear programming problem: Finally a numerical example is used to show the usefulness of the proposed approach.

HHC services providers are looking for the optimal solutions in planning and scheduling HHC service delivery to maximize the satisfaction of patients and nurses in addition to minimizing the costs to patients. Accordingly on the one hand, the patients prefer to be visited at some specific periods based on their nursing skills. On the other hand, nurses are willing to provide services during their desired time windows. Following the rules corresponding to the working times in the contract, observing the soft and hard time windows, and taking required breaks are some of the restrictions that must be considered.The main objectives of this paper are to minimize the total traveling times and overtime of all nurses and to maximize the satisfaction level of patients as well as nurses, which are achieved through a multi-objective mathematical programming model.The proposed model considers the preferences of the nurses, as well as their patience. Moreover it establishes mandatory breaks for nurses after a certain period of work to assign qualified nurses to patients, optimize schedules, and determine the route of nurses, and provides high-quality services. Finally by applying the proposed model to a set of different random test problems, and by considering the stopping criterion on the problem solving time, we analyze the numerical results corresponding to optimal scheduling and allocation.

In the literature of fuzzy linear programming several models are offered and therefore some various methods have been suggested to solve these problems. One of the most important of these problems that recently has been considered; are Fully Fuzzy Linear Programming (FFLP), which all coefficients and variables of the problem are the same kind of fuzzy numbers. One of most common of them is the model in which all fuzzy parameters are discussed by triangle numbers. In this paper, we first define a fully fuzzy linear programming with trapezoidal numbers and then suggest a new method based on reducing the original problem to the problem with triangle number. Specially, a conversion function for converting two trapezoidal and triangular numbers to each other is offered. Finally, the mentioned method is illustrated by a numerical example.

Using inaccurate evaluation data, network training has improved and the number of educational data sets has decreased. The available training method is based on the gradient decent method (BP). One of its limitations is related to its convergence speed. Therefore, decision makers can simply guess the necessary data. In this paper, for increasing the Decision Neural Network training efficiency, a conjugate gradient based method has developed for network training. The key point in decision neural network training is to keep the same structures and parameters of the two sub network (multilayer perceptron) through training process. The efficiency of the proposed method is evaluated by estimating linear and nonlinear utility function of multi-objective decision problems. The results of the proposed method are compared with previous existing method and show that in the proposed method, convergence is faster than previous methods and the results are more favorable.

Pair formation is an important step in pair trading that examined manually and this method fails in the multivariate mode and does not consider conflicting goals in the problem structure. The main problem in this study is to present a method that creates multivariate pair combinations with multiple contradictory goals and focusing on the integration approach. Therefore, a combination of stocks optimized for two opposite objectives: risk (mean-reversion) and return (spread variance) to form a set of profitable multivariate pair trading opportunities. The statistical population is companies listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange. The statistical sample limited by the need for high-frequency transactions from the top 50 companies. The problem developed in the form of a mixed integer-programming model (MIP), and due to non-convex constraints and exponential space, a multi-objective genetic algorithm used to obtain pair combinations. To achieve multiple goals, an advanced type of genetic algorithm; The Chaotic Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm (CNSGA-II) was used. The Chaos theory used to create the initial population of the genetic algorithm in order to obtain appropriate and high-precision solutions. Research has shown that the use of chaos theory can increase the degree of convergence in evolutionary algorithms. The results of the experiments of this study show that multi-objective pair trading strategies focusing on the integration approach have a significant advantage over the traditional single-objective model.

The data needed to implement the real problem in 2021 have been collected by through the regional office of the Tehran blood transfusion organization along with the Negareh system. Due to the Np-hard nature of the problem, the proposed model is solved using three algorithms of GA, NSGA-II and MOPSO in GAMS software.Results: In the proposed model, matching the blood type in meeting demand; blood type delivery and allocation system in laboratories and blood banks, blood wasting in laboratory, transfer of products between demand centers, sensitive and determinative parameters of the model such as; demand, blood donation and delivery time of blood products between network components are considered indefinitely. The findings show that the MOPSO algorithm has a better performance in problems 3, 7, 10 and 12 for the QM index, but generally, based on running times and their average, the NSGA-II algorithm is better.Conclusion: Based on the results, the proposed model leads to a reduction in total costs, total delivery time of blood units and unapproved demand of hospitals.

This is particularly important for educational buildings, because providing sufficient light while preventing the glare and reducing energy consumption in these spaces is a major challenge. In this article the main purpose is the optimized design of window configuration in terms of daylighting and energy performance in educational buildings (primary school classroom) in Tehran city to provide integrated visual comfort components (increase illuminance and decrease glare) and energy efficiency (reduced overall energy consumption). In the process of achieving this purpose the basic models of the South classroom were modeled parametricly by Grasshopper and dynamic simulation of daylight and energy was performed on them. Then simulation-based automated optimization process through the Genetic algorithm was accomplished in multi-objective.The results indicated that adjustment of the conditions with a higher weight for daylighting performance is necessary. The best Pareto solution, based on the minimum distance to the global optimum performs better than base model, indicating that improvements in UDI, DGP, and EUI purpose are 11, 15, and 22 percent respectively.

Water reservoirs are the most commonly used water resources systems for supplying domestic demands whose incorrect management may lead to unsuitable water resources protection and huge financial losses. Approximately in all of the reservoir design, operation and management problems, real reservoir system case studies are studied and analyzed according to the existing conditions and their objectives. Under these conditions, it can be very useful to define and introduce a sample reservoir system which can be investigated for all conditions and objectives. In this research, a three-reservoir system is presented for the first time, considering all physical and hydrological parameters beside three general objectives of generating hydropower energy, supplying downstream demands (agricultural, municipal and industrial) and flood control. The obtained results are quite logical, with a natural trend based on the logically defined data for the sample reservoir system. Therefore, this sample case study is capable of showing the performance of reservoir systems in different states of single or multi reservoirs and single or multi objectives. As a result, the presented reservoir system can be used as a sample case study for introducing and developing different methods in solving water reservoir system problems. Manuscript profile -

One of the most effective structures in the field of non-point source management is wet detention pond. However, generating the cost-effective pond configurations that satisfy system-wide aims for total target sediment removal will be much more effective and efficient; but most of these structures are designed individually. In order to generate the cost-effective pond configurations, coupling the optimization algorithm with hydrologic simulation model is one of the best applied methods. Materials and Method In this paper, an optimization-simulation model is presented for generating a cost-effective pond configuration in the watersheds. Obviously, more and larger ponds can catch more total suspended solids (TSS) from the watershed, but this will consequently lead to the increase of the cost of pond constructing. Multi-objective ant colony optimization algorithm is applied for determining a Pareto front between two opposing goals namely the loading TSS from the watershed and related cost of the pond designing. Result and Discussion The Pareto front can be used by the watershed authorities for a better controlling of the loading sediment from the watershed. The applicability of the model is studied in a watershed in the west of Iran. Manuscript profile -

In this paper, some of the challenges of simultaneously multi-objective portfolio optimization are addressed. Four different models are designed: a fuzzy multi-objective programming model has been used to consider the multi-criteria nature of stock selection and the uncertainty associated with the return on assets and a simple model for doing this. The models are designed in such a way that both the nature of the multiplicity of the problem of portfolio selection is considered and the considerations of the investor in the choice of portfolios are involved. After designing the evolutionary 3 and 4 objective models of portfolio optimization, multi-objective evolutionary algorithm NSGA-II was used to solve this models. Concretely, it optimizes return, the downside-risk, skewness and the Kurtosis of a given daily returns, taking into account budget, and investor constraints. Because of the NP-HARD nature of the above models, the NSGA-II proprietary algorithm was coded in the MATLAB, and after solving each model and extracting the Pareto frontier, the best portfolio on the Pareto front was selected based on the maximum Sortino ratio. Finally, the results of the obtained portfolios in both fuzzy and non-phase conditions were compared according to the trainer's ratio, and it was determined that the use of fuzzy logic in quadratic evolutionary algorithms, compared to a situation where fuzzy logic is not used in the design and use of these algorithms., Creates more favorable results.

To improve storage in distributed cloud data centers, the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm has been used to copy data between data centers. This paper summarizes the objectives and constraints of the cloud storage problem in order to achieve good performance by considering the shortest data transmission distance, obtaining optimal storage in distributed data centers with reliability based on PSO algorithm between two central data sets. And then it provides an intelligent cryptographic approach that cloud service operators cannot directly access partial data. Numerical results show that the proposed method can provide a good cloud storage strategy when the number of distributed data centers is equal, the defense of the main threats in the clouds can be done effectively.

The Gray Wolf Multi-Objective Algorithm is a random evolution-inspired random algorithm that has been widely used in recent years as an optimization technique in power electronics. The state mode average method has been used to model and achieve the transducer-based system transfer function. Therefore, the MOGWO-based PID controller has been studied and implemented in the system to enable the converter stability to be evaluated and compared with conventional PID controllers. To evaluate the stability of the system, various performance parameters such as overtaking percentage, peak time, settling time and peak size have been considered. The impact response of the closed-loop system is obtained by simulation in MATLAB. The performance of the model is evaluated to perform a general comparative analysis of the system.

This paper attempts to introduce a pragmatic bi-objective investment model based on uncertainty, instead of probability space and information theory, instead of variance and other moments as a risk measure for portfolio optimization. Not only is uncertainty space expected to be more in line with investment theory, but also, applying and learning this approach seems more straightforward and practical for novice investors. The proposed model simultaneously maximizes the uncertain mean of stock returns and minimizes uncertain entropy as a measure of portfolio risk. The uncertain zigzag distribution has been used for variables to avoid the complexity of fitting distributions for data. This uncertain mean-entropy portfolio optimization (UMEPO) has been solved by three meta-heuristic methods of multi-objective optimization: NSGA-II, MOPS, and MOICA. Finally, it was observed that the optimal portfolio obtained from the proposed model has a higher return and a lower entropy as a risk measure compared to the same model in the probability space.

In the cold supply chain, products should be stored at low and near or below freezing points. For this purpose, refrigerated warehouses and refrigerated trucks are essential. Therefore, this research aims to design a linear multi-objective decision-making model for supply chain management Which aims to reduce the overall supply chain cost, including the cost of capacity, transportation, inventory as well as costs associated with the effects of global warming due to greenhouse gas emissions. To analyze the research problem, a mathematical model for optimizing the supply chain has been designed and genetic algorithm has been used to solve this problem. The results of the first function test indicate that the model is high in the number of customers, and when the distributor's number is equal to the number of producers, the best one is possible. The second function analysis concludes that reducing the restoration time of the facility is effective in minimizing the first function, reducing costs and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, according to the stated contents and the results obtained in this research, it can be pointed out that by optimizing the vehicles and also the proper use of the optimal number of means of transport, it can be expected that the pollution and proliferation of gases The greenhouse is at least possible.

One approach to achive simultaneously to the economic and envitonmental objectives is to design closed loop supply chain networks (CLSCN) that integrate reverse logistics into their forward paths. In this paper, a bi-objective mixed integer linear programming model was developed for the CLSCN problem. The first objective is to minimize the cost function and the second objective function tries to minimize the time of transferring products from manufacturers to the distributors. Lp Metric and ε -constraint methods were utilized to solve the model. A numerical example was presented to show the applicability of the model and also sensitivity analysis was done. In this model two parameters of cost and demand are uncertain, in order to deal with uncertain parameters a robust optimization approach was utilizec. Multi objective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO) was used to solve the model in lare scales ad the solutions were compared with the solutions that obtained by exact methods. the findings of this research can help decision makers and executives to design efficient closed loop supply chains.

Unf MoreTime-cost-quality trade-off project scheduling problem is one of the most important and practical problems in project management discipline. Project Managers interest in making decisions to accomplish the project with minimum cost, minimum time, and maximum quality. Unfortunately, in real life problems, the estimation of time, cost, and quality may be mixed with uncertainty. These parameters may be far from their estimated values. So, considering uncertain parameters in time-cost-quality project scheduling is essential. In this paper, a probabilistic version of time-cost-quality trade –off problem is proposed. Some parameters of the proposed model are assumed to be probabilistic. The probabilistic nature of the proposed model is handled using stochastic chance constraint programming. The multi-objective nature of the problem is handled using goal programming. Finally, the stochastic chance constraint goal programming is proposed. The deterministic equivalence of proposed stochastic model is presented. A numerical example is analyzed using GAMS software and results are investigated. Manuscript profile -

Simultaneously, the potential for profit arising from product recycling has further emphasized the importance of these systems. This research focuses on developing a four-stage closed-loop network model for the supply chain, taking into account the uncertainty of product recycling rates. The primary objective of this study is to provide an integer linear programming model aimed at minimizing supply chain costs and customer service time under uncertain conditions. The supply chain model is designed by integrating queuing theory and product recycling system optimization. A critical aspect of this research involves modeling the uncertainty in the return rate of consumer products in the closed-loop supply chain, with the aim of developing a robust approach to address this issue. Additionally, the performance of the proposed model in the paper industry is evaluated, and a sensitivity analysis is conducted with respect to the decision variables using two metaheuristic algorithms: the Multiple Objective Harmony Search and the Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm.

In the past, bi-objective problems were solved by finding Pareto approximation in the entire problem space (without any restrictions). The limitation in this study is to find Pareto approximation in a specified region. In order to solve the problem, multi-objective genetic algorithm based on Pareto ranking has been used. In the structure of the algorithm, two strategies have been proposed in order to select solutions for archiving and produce Pareto in a certain region. After generating sample problems, the genetic algorithm has been implemented with three strategies (two proposed and one general strategy in literature). The appropriate strategy is based on efficient solutions in the archives. The results reflect the fact that the proposed strategies have shown better performance than the literature strategy.

In its simplest form, while trying to minimize risk in the portfolio selection according to defined constraints such as budget and integer constraints it deals with selecting a basket of various assets. Generally, investors prefer to invest in some assets rather than investing in only one asset to reduce unsystematic risk by diversifying their investment. Complex computational models have been developed to solve this problem and there is not an optimal solution for many of them. In this paper, a new and innovative approach known as fruit fly optimization algorithm (FOA) is used for multi-objective problem solving based on mean-variance Markowitz problem with class and cardinality constraints. Fruit fly optimization algorithm is a new way to find the overall optimal solution based on the behavior of the fruit fly in finding food. So far, few studies have been done on this algorithm and almost none of them used this algorithm for portfolio optimization problem. The results indicated the better comparative performance of the algorithm compared to the genetic algorithm for data set of Tehran stock exchange.JEL classification: G1, P5, O3 Manuscript profile -

At the first step, the supplier evaluating criteria and sub-criteria are determined and their relationships and degrees of importance are specified via the fuzzy ANP-DEMATEL method. Afterwards, regarding the high variety of purchasing items, they are categorized into four groups by the Fuzzy Inference system (Kraljik model) and suppliers in each group are ranked using the Fuzzy WASPAS method. The next step is to determine the order allocation of items in a multi-product, multi-period, multi-supplier mixed integer programming model with three objectives of minimizing the cost, maximizing total utility of the purchasing process and minimizing changes of selected suppliers as a new objective function. Finally, the LP metric method is applied to solve the proposed multi-objective model, and Pareto solutions of the problem are determined by changing the coefficients of the objectives in this method. The proposed approach is used for suppliers evaluation and order allocation in a chemical company with a high number of purchasing items and suppliers. The accuracy of results is confirmed by experts. Regarding the comprehensiveness of the proposed approach, its application increases the accuracy of suppliers evaluation and order allocation, and therefore its utilization in organizations is recommended.

One goal is to reduce inventory costs in a two-level supply chain, while other goals consider enabling the system and help making decisions in possible demand situations and delivery times, and increasing the level of service and quality, while reducing the costs of increasing the service level. However, to gain more performance in real world problems, constraints exist, e.g. the lack of a low service level, warehouse space, budget, moving capacity, and total integrated discount. In this research, the shipments are assumed to be non-identical, and shortages are considered in two classes: lag and lost sales. Because the achieved model type is of nonlinear integer planning type and an NP-hard problem, meta-heuristic solutions should be used. Regarding two-goal minimization based on reducing total inventory cost, taking possible demand, delivery times, the non-homology of shipments into account, and also shortage and discount, to find the amount of product order and the product shortage level, the achieved model is solved using the required algorithms and tools. Regarding inventory management at two levels of seller and retailer, problems occur containing constraints. Finally, this research aims to obtain inventory management mathematical model by seller in the supply chain in conditions (such as one retailer-one seller, and one seller-multiple retailers), and to provide a solution during uncertainty, non-homology of shipments, when the shortage of lag and lost sales is permitted, and total discount.

This model is formulated under four constraints consisting of storage spaces, budgetary, allowable shortage quantities and periodic order quantities. The last two constraints are considered as interval. In the presented model, shortage is allowable and lead-time is zero. The parameters such as demands, costs (including: setting, maintenance, shortage) and constraint resources are fuzzy. The type of fuzzy numbers in demand & cost is triangular and the numbers of constraint resources are positive trapezoid. In solution methodology, first we converted the cost objective and manpower objective functions to six objective functions and then reduced fuzzy constraints to crisp constraints via defuzzification. Then we solved the resulted crisp multi objective model using Fuzzy Non Linear Programming (FNLP). Finally we presented a numerical example to solve and describe the model applying Lingo software package. Manuscript profile -

The load model is considered as a combination of various customers’ daily load patterns and sensitive to voltage-frequency. The micro turbine, wind turbine, photovoltaic and fuel cell are considered as DG units. The objective functions of the problem consist of the technical index (the voltage stability and the active and reactive power loss) and environmental index (the amount of pollutant DG unit’s gas emissions). The whale optimisation algorithm (WOA) is used to multi-objective optimize the location and capacity of devices. After applying the multi-objective WOA, the analytical hierarchy process is utilized to select one of the Pareto optimal solutions as the best location and size of devices. The proposed algorithm is implemented on the 69-bus distribution system and actual 101-bus distribution system in Khoy–Iran. The results indicate the significant effect of load models and various DG units on the efficiency of the distribution system in the presence of DSTATCOM. Moreover, the indices of the distribution system are improved considerably after applying the proposed method. Manuscript profile -

Wireless sensor networks MoreWith the spread of applications of wireless sensor networks, in recent years, the use of this type of network in order to monitor the environment and analyze data collected from specific environments in a variety of ways has become very common. Wireless sensor networks are one of the best options for collecting data from the environment due to their easy configuration and no need for expensive equipment. The energy of sensors in wireless sensor networks is limited, which is a major challenge due to the lack of a fixed charge source. Because most of the sensors' energy is wasted during data transmission, a sensor that transmits more data than others and transmits data over long distances with packets will run out of energy sooner than others. When a sensor in the network runs out of energy, the network process may be disrupted. Therefore, due to the dynamic topology and distributed nature of wireless sensor networks, designing energy efficient routing protocols is one of the main challenges. Therefore, in this article, energy-aware routing protocol based on multi-objective particle swarm optimization algorithm is presented. In the proposed approach, the fitness function of the particle swarm optimization algorithm for selecting the optimal cluster head based on quality-of-service goals including residual energy, link quality, end-to-end delay and delivery rate. The simulation results show that the proposed approach has less energy consuming and extend network lifetime due to balancing the goals of quality-of-service criteria than other approaches.

Carbon capture utilization and storage (CCUS) technology and demand response programs (DRP), especially the time of use (TOU) program are investigated. Carbon technology helps to overcome pollution issues, on the one hand, and earn revenue for the power system, on the other hand. Also, the demand response programs help to reduce costs and pollution, make the load curve flatter, increase the reliability and power quality of the network. The proposed energy hub consists of various renewable and non-renewable distributed energy resources, as well different planning horizons, include deterministic and robust ones. The presented hub consists of diverse energy sectors like electricity, heat, cooling, gas, and water at the input and output sections. The problem is then modeled as a MILP and solved using the CPLEX solver in GAMS software. Epsilon constraint method with the fuzzy satisfying approach is used to obtain and select the best solution. The final results show that the cost and the pollution in the robust planning experience the increment by about 12.3% and 1.9% respectively in comparison to deterministic, as well, demand response programs and CCUS technology are had a significant impact on the objective functions. In addition, the load curve has become flatter and the reward by using a carbon system is obtained for the hub. Manuscript profile -

By altering the status of switches, the distribution feeder reconfiguration (DFR) can reduce system losses in this regard. Power loss and voltage deviation of buses are frequently taken into account as objective functions while solving the distribution feeder reconfiguration problem, however reliability indices have received less consideration. The proposed reliability index, coupled with power loss and switching number in the presence of distributed generators, are used in this study to address DFR as a multi-objective problem. The DFR problem is complex inherently, considering impacts of distributed generators makes the problem more be complex than before. For this purpose, an evolutionary method based on the combination of particle swarm optimization and modified shuffled frog leaping has been used to solve the nonlinear optimization problem in this study. Two 33-bus and 70-bus systems are evaluated to gauge the effectiveness of the suggested hybrid algorithm. Manuscript profile -

The innovation of article was presenting an integrated financial- operational approach to LARG supply network and new aspect of research was considering four levels of suppliers factories distribution centers and customers by Fuzzy Multi-Objective (FMO) optimization at strategic and technical decision-making levels. One of the prominent features of proposed model was use of Goal Programing (GP) for modeling financial flow and achieving producer's financial goals. Since the proposed model was a two objective model SO and TH FMO interactive approaches which are able to adjust degree of satisfaction of the objective functions were used to solve model. Using these approaches in addition to GP the enables decision-maker to make final decision by choosing the right solution based on degree of satisfaction and priority of each objective function. The mathematical model presented in the GAMS optimization software were coded and solved with CPLEX solver. Finally to show the efficiency and fit of the model integrated financial approach of the present article was compared with a non-financial model. Manuscript profile -

One of the most important aspects of this model is using transaction cost in model and providing this ability that investors could add or withdrawal cash during time. In the end some numerical example are illustrated and model effectiveness proved. As is presented using stochastic programming with recourse and combination of this model with scenario generation model provides this possibility for investors to plan their medium and short term investing. As can be seen result of the model proved effectiveness of the model in financial markets. As result presented having such tool that investor could adjust his or her portfolio during time according to targets such as maximizing rate of return and minimizing risk of his or her decisions could bring powerful superiority in competitive financial markets.

Activists in this field are seeking to select a portfolio that controls risk with high return. Due to the increasing limitations of the capital market, the efficiency of classical methods has been discussed. Hence, researchers have turned their attention to metaheuristic algorithms. The aim of this study is to determine the optimal portfolio of pharmaceutical companies accepted in the Tehran Stock Exchange by two methods of multi-objective genetic algorithm (NSGA-II) and maximum Sharp ratio. In this study, the multi-objective genetic algorithm (NSGA-II) is under Conditional Value at Risk criterion. Also, the data of 13 companies in the period of 90-97 were used to form the portfolio. The results show that in the multi-objective genetic algorithm (NSGA-II) method, the stock with the lowest Value at Risk gains the most weight in the optimal portfolio. Also, the optimized portfolio by multi-objective genetic algorithm is more return and at the same time less risky. Manuscript profile -

Therefore, in this research, to present a multi-objective mathematical model for measuring stock portfolio risk by combining return metrics with two risk metrics, namely half variance and conditional risk exposure value along with transaction cost limit for fifteen shares of the top fifty stocks. The period of twelve months ending in 1398 has been discussed in the context of the Iranian capital market. According to the tables and graphs obtained from solving this type of model with the help of dynamic planning in different investment times, we will see better results in the efficiency of investors' decisions by spending less time and money and consequently more profitability of the portfolio.

Based on this, 208 companies were selected as active companies between 1390 and 1399 To teach data by two-level ensemble learning machine (HHEL) and market trend forecasting based on market timing strategy, use data from 5 years 1390 to 1394 and to test the data as stock portfolio optimization based on stock portfolio maximization and risk minimization. The investment portfolio uses MOPSO and NSGA II algorithms and is compared with the obtained investment portfolio with the buy and hold strategy. The results showed that the MOPSO algorithm achieved the highest stock portfolio yield with 96.437% compared to the NSGA II algorithm with a yield of 91.157% and the same investment method with a yield of 13.058%. Also, the portfolio risk in NSGA II algorithm was much lower than the portfolio risk in MOPSO algorithm with 0.792% and 1.367%, respectively Manuscript profile -

Therefore, in this paper, multi-objective optimization models are designed and solved in MATLAB software environment. These models are designed in such a way that both the nature of the portfolio optimization, the considerations of the investor and the uncertain nature of the future return on assets, are taken into account. After designing the models in fuzzy and non-fuzzy (simple) conditions, due to their NP-HARD nature, a dedicated NSGA-II algorithm was used to solve it. After solving the models, the best portfolio from attained Pareto frontier, based on the Sortino ratio, be chosen. After that all of the obtained portfolios are compared according to the Treyner ratio. The results of statistical tests clearly show that the proposed models have a high power in choosing portfolios with maximum returns and a minimum risk. The results also indicate that that the designed models, with use of fuzzy logic in quadratic models creates more favorable results than simple models without using possibility theory and fuzzy logic.

Investors have been trying to find a way to predict stock prices and to find the right stocks and right timing to buy or sell. Recently, data mining techniques and artificial intelligence techniques have been applied to this area. Association discovery is one of the most common Data Mining techniques used to extract interesting knowledge from large datasets. In this paper, we propose a new multi-objective evolutionary model which maximizes the omprehensibility, interestingness and performance of the objectives in order to mine a set of quantitative association rules from financial datasets, including 10 common indicators of technical analysis. To accomplish this, the model extends the two well-known Multi-objective Evolutionary Algorithms, Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II and Non-dominated Ranked Genetic Algorithm, to perform an evolutionary learning of the intervals of the attributes and a condition selection for each rule. Moreover, this proposal introduces an external population and a restarting process to the evolutionary model in order to store all the nondominated rules found and improve the diversity of the rule set obtained. The results obtained over real-world stock datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach. Manuscript profile -

The research innovation involved considering demand behavior as a function of product prices in competitive conditions and based on that, the aim was to develop a mathematical model to design a closed loop supply chain in competitive conditions. In such a price chain, it is a fundamental factor that can determine the amount of demand and consequently change the structure of the chain. For this purpose, in the third chapter, first a function between the amount of demand and the price of products was presented. Then, by completing the research assumptions, a two-objective mathematical model of the research was presented. The first goal is to reduce costs and increase chain revenue. In other words, the first goal is to maximize supply chain profits. The second goal is to focus on market share, and by increasing the desirability of sales centers, we seek to maximize market share. By presenting such a model, it is necessary to provide techniques for achieving several goals. In this regard, the SFLA algorithm to solve this mathematical model was described. This method is a new meta-heuristic algorithm based on the behavior of frogs. For this purpose, first, by solving the model as a one-objective, the model was validated and the results were proved to be correct, logical and reliable. Manuscript profile
