OPTIMIZATION APPROACHES TO AIRLINE INDUSTRY CHALLENGES: Airline Schedule Planning and Recovery

Authors: Cynthia Barnhart, Hai Jiang, and Lavanya Marla

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 9261, Models and Algorithms for Optimization in Logistics (2009)

Abstract
The airline industry has a long history of developing and applying optimization approaches to their myriad of scheduling problems. These problems have several challenging characteristics, the two most challenging of which include: 1) they span long- and short-term horizons, from strategic planning of flight schedules operated several months into the future, to real-time operations in which strategies must be developed and implemented immediately to recover scheduled operations from disruptions; and 2) they include multiple resources that must be coordinated, such as aircraft, crews, and passengers. While optimization approaches have been essential to the airline industry and effective in developing aircraft and crew schedules, historical models and approaches often fail to capture the complexity of airline operations. For example, approaches, often by necessity, involve a sequential, rather than an integrated process to develop schedules for aircraft and crews, and moreover, the process involves simplifying assumptions, including that future demands are known and deterministic, and that schedules are operated as planned. In more recent research on airline schedule optimization, advances have led to new schedule optimization models and approaches that more accurately reflect reality. As described in this presentation, the most notable contributions to these advances include: 1. Integrated Aircraft and Crew Schedule Optimization Approaches in which some of the aircraft and crew schedule decisions previously taken sequentially are integrated, moving closer to producing globally optimal schedules; 2. Dynamic Scheduling Approaches in which schedules are adjusted during the passenger booking period to reflect increased knowledge of booking patterns and to increase the schedule’s associated total revenue; and 3. Robust Optimization Approaches in which the stochastic nature of airline operations is modeled and realized schedule performance is optimized.

A 2-Approximation Algorithm for the Complementary Maximal Strip Recovery Problem

Authors: Haitao Jiang, Jiong Guo, Daming Zhu, and Binhai Zhu

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 128, 30th Annual Symposium on Combinatorial Pattern Matching (CPM 2019)

Abstract
The Maximal Strip Recovery problem (MSR) and its complementary (CMSR) are well-studied NP-hard problems in computational genomics. The input of these dual problems are two signed permutations. The goal is to delete some gene markers from both permutations, such that, in the remaining permutations, each gene marker has at least one common neighbor. Equivalently, the resulting permutations could be partitioned into common strips of length at least two. Then MSR is to maximize the number of remaining genes, while the objective of CMSR is to delete the minimum number of gene markers. In this paper, we present a new approximation algorithm for the Complementary Maximal Strip Recovery (CMSR) problem. Our approximation factor is 2, improving the currently best 7/3-approximation algorithm. Although the improvement on the factor is not huge, the analysis is greatly simplified by a compensating method, commonly referred to as the non-oblivious local search technique. In such a method a substitution may not always increase the value of the current solution (it sometimes may even decrease the solution value), though it always improves the value of another function seemingly unrelated to the objective function.

Can a permutation be sorted by best short swaps?

Authors: Shu Zhang, Daming Zhu, Haitao Jiang, Jingjing Ma, Jiong Guo, and Haodi Feng

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 105, 29th Annual Symposium on Combinatorial Pattern Matching (CPM 2018)

Abstract
A short swap switches two elements with at most one element caught between them. Sorting permutation by short swaps asks to find a shortest short swap sequence to transform a permutation into another. A short swap can eliminate at most three inversions. It is still open for whether a permutation can be sorted by short swaps each of which can eliminate three inversions. In this paper, we present a polynomial time algorithm to solve the problem, which can decide whether a permutation can be sorted by short swaps each of which can eliminate 3 inversions in O(n) time, and if so, sort the permutation by such short swaps in O(n^2) time, where n is the number of elements in the permutation. A short swap can cause the total length of two element vectors to decrease by at most 4. We further propose an algorithm to recognize a permutation which can be sorted by short swaps each of which can cause the element vector length sum to decrease by 4 in O(n) time, and if so, sort the permutation by such short swaps in O(n^2) time. This improves upon the O(n^2) algorithm proposed by Heath and Vergara to decide whether a permutation is so called lucky.

Genomic Scaffold Filling Revisited

Authors: Haitao Jiang, Chenglin Fan, Boting Yang, Farong Zhong, Daming Zhu, and Binhai Zhu

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 54, 27th Annual Symposium on Combinatorial Pattern Matching (CPM 2016)

Abstract
The genomic scaffold filling problem has attracted a lot of attention recently. The problem is on filling an incomplete sequence (scaffold) I into I', with respect to a complete reference genome G, such that the number of adjacencies between G and I' is maximized. The problem is NP-complete and APX-hard, and admits a 1.2-approximation. However, the sequence input I is not quite practical and does not fit most of the real datasets (where a scaffold is more often given as a list of contigs). In this paper, we revisit the genomic scaffold filling problem by considering this important case when, (1) a scaffold S is given, the missing genes X = c(G) - c(S) can only be inserted in between the contigs, and the objective is to maximize the number of adjacencies between G and the filled S' and (2) a scaffold S is given, a subset of the missing genes X' subset X = c(G) - c(S) can only be inserted in between the contigs, and the objective is still to maximize the number of adjacencies between G and the filled S''. For problem (1), we present a simple NP-completeness proof, we then present a factor-2 greedy approximation algorithm, and finally we show that the problem is FPT when each gene appears at most d times in G. For problem (2), we prove that the problem is W[1]-hard and then we present a factor-2 FPT-approximation for the case when each gene appears at most d times in G.
