A high-level computing algorithm for diverging and converging branch nonserial dynamic programming systems

AbstractWe present high-level computing algorithms for efficiently processing the diverging and converging branch systems in nonserial dynamic programming. A special technique in devised for processing the network functions such that the minimum amount of storage is employed. It is shown that if k is the discretization level of the state and decision variables then the space complexities are O(k) and O(k2) for the diverging and converging branch systems, respectively. The resultant time complexities are also developed. These savings in computational complexities enhance the attractiveness of dynamic programming as a tool for processing more complex nonserial systems

Computational aspects and applications of a branch and bound algorithms for fuzzy multistage decision processes

AbstractFuzzy multistage decision processes are normally modelled and solved via fuzzy dynamic programming algorithms. We first review the field and present a branch and bound type alternative due to Kacprzyk. We next rectify some computational errors in Kacprzy's example and show some examples from environmental damage reduction planning studies where the algorithm is applicable and efficient
