Designing a Multi-Objective Closed-loop Supply Chain Mathematical Model with Supplier Selection Approach and considering Discount by Esmat Saadi, kiamars fathi, Reza Radfar

“…Moreover, the return of defective products to the production cycle and the general and progressive simultaneous discount policy have been considered through an integer linear mathematical model. The presented model generates Pareto solutions using two proposed meta-heuristic algorithms, multi objective particle swarm optimization and non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm and combination of the two. …”

Flux Fractionalization Transition in Anisotropic S=1 Antiferromagnets and Dimer-Loop Models by Souvik Kundu, Kedar Damle

“…The destruction of power-law columnar spin order below w_{c} is driven by an unusual flux fractionalization mechanism, topological in character but quite distinct from the usual Kosterlitz-Thouless mechanism for such transitions: Fractional electric fluxes which are bound into integer values for w>w_{c}, proliferate in the w<w_{c} phase and destroy power-law columnar order.…”

A Location-Inventory-Routing Problem in Forward and Reverse Logistics Network Design by Qunli Yuchi, Zhengwen He, Zhen Yang, Nengmin Wang

“…Our objective is to minimize the total costs of manufacturing and remanufacturing goods, building DCs, shipping goods (new or recovered) between the manufacturer and opened DCs, and distributing new or recovered goods to customers and ordering and storage costs of goods. A nonlinear integer programming model is proposed to formulate the LIRP-FRL. …”
