The subject of research in the article is the topological structures of closed-loop logistics networks. The goal of the article is to increase the efficiency of centralized logistics networks by developing a mathematical model for a two-criteria problem of optimizing topological structures in the process of their reengineering. The article solves the following tasks: analysis of the current state of the problem of structural and topological optimization of logistics networks; formalization of the problem of optimization of logistics networks as geographically distributed objects; synthesis of objective functions of the mathematical model of a two-criterion optimization problem for centralized three-level topological structures of closed logistics networks at the reengineering stage; development of a system of constraints of the mathematical model of the problem of optimizing centralized three-level topological structures of closed logistics networks; a function for evaluating the overall utility of options based on the Kolmogorov-Gabor polynomial is offered. The following methods are used: methods of systems theory, methods of utility theory, optimization and operations research. The following results were obtained: the analysis of the current state of the problem of system optimization of logistics networks, mathematical models and methods for its solution was carried out; formalization of the problem of structural and topological optimization of logistics networks as geographically distributed objects; a mathematical model of a two-criterion task of reengineering of three-level topological structures of logistics networks in terms of costs and efficiency with integrated points of production and processing has been developed (originality). Conclusions: Based on the results of the analysis of the problem of optimizing the topological structures of logistics systems, it has been established that the problems of direct and reverse logistics are still considered as conditionally independent, which does not allow obtaining effective global solutions. In the context of expanding the network of consumers, changes in delivery volumes, the introduction of environmental restrictions, it is proposed to reengineer the networks, which provides for their radical redesign. The formulated statement and the developed mathematical model of a two-criterion (in terms of cost and efficiency) optimization problem for three-level topological structures for combined production and processing points will increase the efficiency of logistics networks with reverse flows by reducing the cost of reengineering (practical value).

Conclusions: Based on the results of the study of methods for solving the problem, an approximation of their accuracy and time complexity was performed. In practice, this will allow you to choose a more efficient method for solving large-scale practical problems, based on the required accuracy, available computing and time resources. The method based on the coordinate optimization procedure has a significantly higher accuracy, but it is more complex from a computational point of view. The accuracy of the evolutionary method based on a genetic algorithm can be increased by increasing the number of iterations. The practical use of the proposed mathematical model and methods of reengineering the topological structures of centralized closed logistics systems by jointly solving problems for direct and reverse flows will reduce the cost of transport activities of companies.

The concept of conditional ghost correction is introduced into the vector method of quantitative texture analysis. The mathematical model actually chosen here reduces the texture problem to one of quadratic programming. Thus, a well defined optimization problem has to be solved, the singular system of linear equations governing the correspondence between pole and orientation distribution being reduced to a set of equality constraints of the restated texture problem. This new mathematical approach in terms of the vector method reveals the modeling character of the solution of the texture problem provided by the vector method completely.

For the first time the mathematical model of task optimization for this scheme of cutting logs, including the objective function and six equations of connection. The article discusses Pythagorean area of the logs. Therefore, the target function is represented as the sum of the cross-sectional areas of edging boards. Equation of the relationship represents the relationship of the diameter of the logs in the vertex end with the size of the resulting edging boards. This relationship is described through the use of the Pythagorean Theorem. Such a representation of the mathematical model of optimization task is considered a classic one. However, the solution of this mathematical model by the classic method is proved to be problematic. For the solution of the mathematical model we used the method of Lagrange multipliers. Solution algorithm to determine the optimal dimensions of the beams and side edging boards taking into account the width of cut is suggested. Using a numerical method, optimal dimensions of the beams and planks are determined, in which the objective function takes the maximum value. It turned out that with the increase of the width of the cut, thickness of the beam increases and the dimensions of the side edging boards reduce. Dimensions of the extreme side planks to increase the width of cut is reduced to a greater extent than the side boards, which are located closer to the center of the log. The algorithm for solving the optimization problem is recommended to use for calculation and preparation of sawing schedule in the design and operation of sawmill lines for timber production. When using the proposed algorithm for solving the optimization problem the output of lumber can be increased to 3-5 %.

Abstract. Transmission planning is a complex optimization problem with multiple deciding variables and restrictions. The mathematical model is non-linear, discrete, multi-objective and dynamic. It becomes complicated as the system grows. So the algorithm adopted affects the results of planning directly. In this paper, a fast non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-II) is employed. The results indicate that NSGA-II has some advantages compared to the traditional genetic algorithms. In transmission planning, NSGA-II is feasible, flexible and effective.

This article presents a mathematical formulation of the optimization problem of loading unit formation taking into account the mass of packaging units. Proposed model can be applied to optimize the arrangement of non-uniform cubical loading units in loading spaces. The model ensures possibility of defining various dimensions, masses, resistances of particular packaging units and their vertical axis rotation. Within the constraints of formulating optimization problem, taking into account masses and resistances ensures that all packaging units will rest on a pallet or on other packaging units, and the surface of contact between loading units guarantees stability of units arranged in subsequent layers. The mathematical model was verified. The paper provides an appropriate calculation example.

Abstract The increase of the rail public transportations is searched in directions for redistribution of the passenger travels between rail and bus transportation. The rail transport benefits by increasing it schedule for places where the transportation capacities on appropriate directions is not achieved. A mathematical model has been derived to assess the potential of the rail passenger transport to increase his capacity and efficiency. This potential has been evaluate in comparison with the competition of the bus transportation. A specific transportation route has been chosen from Sofia to Varna and the potential for increase of the rail transport has been evaluated. The mathematical model uses bi-level optimization problem, related to the evaluation of a maximal flow in a transportation network.
