OPTIMIZATION MODELS AND ANALYSIS OF ROUTING, LOCATION, DISTRIBUTION AND DESIGN PROBLEMS ON NETWORKS

This dissertation focuses on the development and use of optimization models for addressing five problems associated with location, routing allocation, scheduling, and link designs. The first problem deals with time-dependent shortest par of disjoint paths. The second problem addresses minimum-risk routing. The third problem deals with allocation strategies for emergency and risk management. The fourth problem addresses flow demands in a water distribution network. The last problem deals with a global optimization approach for location- allocation problems.
