    In this study, we consider the capacitated multifacility Weber problem which is concerned with locating m facilities in the plane, and allocating their limited capacities to n customers at minimum total cost. In this group ...
  • Demirel, Güven. (Thesis (M.S.)-Bogazici University. Institute for Graduate Studies in Science and Engineering, 2008., 2008.)
    Agent-based modeling t (ABM) and system dynamics (SD) are two methodologies commonly used in the modeling of complex systems, which are conventionally placed at the two ends of the aggregation spectrum. Disaggregated ABM ...
  • Başoğlu, İsmail. (Thesis (M.S.)-Bogazici University. Institute for Graduate Studies in Science and Engineering, 2008., 2008.)
    For stochastic simulation, the generation of random variates from different distributions is a prerequisite. In certain programming languages and software, there are already random variate generation functions of standard ...
  • Demir, Utku. (Thesis (M.S.)-Bogazici University. Institute for Graduate Studies in Science and Engineering, 2008., 2008.)
    Turkey requires reliable forecast values and assessment of its electricity imbalance to realize energy plans since it is import dependent on energy sector with very low energy intensity. Back propagation (BP), recurrent ...
