March 7, 2012
Please join us in welcoming... Dr. Hemanshu Kaul Department of Applied Mathematics Illinois Institute of Technology 4:00 p.m., Room 1127 SEO PLEASE NOTE ROOM Abstract: We consider the problem of how to decide which projects to invest in and implement in a transportation network, so as to maximize the total utility of the road network after project implementation. Two important issues that make this an interesting mathematical problem are: first, local changes in a transportation network can lead to agglomerative changes in its global behavior; second, multiple projects within a certain geographical area of the transportation network may be proposed for implementation simultaneously, which means that such projects cannot be considered independent of each other. Dr. Kaul will discuss the work done with a colleague in Civil Engineering at IIT on this problem in the recent past. He will report on the new holistic model developed and how it compares computationally with previous models on real data from I-DOT (Illinois Department of Transportation). Our results clearly show that our models capture the effects of dependency between different projects. Ignoring these effects gives a false inflated benefit from a collection of projects leading to erroneous decision-making. This research also led to work on approximation algorithms for the related Graph and Hypergraph Knapsack problems, generalizations of the classical Knapsack problem that take dependencies between items into account. Dr. Kaul will discuss the connections between this work and classical problems in combinatorial optimization and our new algorithms. |
