A multi-objective robust possibilistic programming approach to designing sustainable and reliable closed-loop supply chain network (case study: aluminum industry) by Sajad Amirian, Maghsoud Amiri, Mohammad Taghi Taghavifard

“…The sensitivity analysis of the demand parameter showed that the proposed model achieved more economic profit, less social responsibility, and less reliability with increasing demand.Originality/Value: The variability of the justified decision space in the Me criterion has helped to solve the supply chain network design problem more flexibly and closer to reality through the possibility of exchange between the objective function and the risk-taking level of the managers.…”

Proposal of a novel particle swarm optimization for constrained optimization problems (1st report: Basic study with benchmark problems) by So FUKUHARA, Nobuhisa KATSUMATA, Masao ARAKAWA

“…The constraint optimization problems (COPs) are the most popular type of problems, therefore, optimization algorithms for the COPs have been attracted more and more attention. Particle swarm optimization is one of the most popular algorithms for solving the COPs due to the simplicity and efficient convergence performance, and various types of PSO are actively developed in recent years. …”
