    Minimization of rest mismatches in round robin tournaments
    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2018-11-01) Atan, Sabri Tankut; Çavdaroğlu, Burak
    In sports tournaments, an occurrence of a difference in the rest periods of opponent teams in a game, which we refer to as a rest mismatch, will disadvantage the less rested team. Thus, it is only fair to expect opposing teams to have rested equally before their game. In this work, we introduce and study the Rest Mismatch Problem where the goal is to minimize the number of rest mismatches in a round robin tournament. Two integer linear formulations and a constraint programming formulation are provided, and their computational performances are compared for several problem instances. Moreover, a heuristic algorithm is developed which finds a single round robin schedule with zero mismatches when the number of teams in the tournament is a multiple of 8, and four mismatches when it is a multiple of 4 but not 8.

    Interdependent network restoration: On the value of information-sharing
    (Elsevier Science BV, 2015-07-01) Sharkey, Thomas C.; Çavdaroğlu, Burak; Nguyen, Huy; Holman, Jonathan; Mitchell, John E. M.; Wallace, William Al
    We consider restoring multiple interdependent infrastructure networks after a disaster damages components in them and disrupts the services provided by them. Our particular focus is on interdependent infrastructure restoration (IIR) where both the operations and the restoration of the infrastructures are linked across systems. We provide new mathematical formulations of restoration interdependencies in order to incorporate them into an interdependent integrated network design and scheduling (IINDS) problem. The IIR efforts resulting from solving this IINDS problem model a centralized decision-making environment where a single decision-maker controls the resources of all infrastructures. In reality, individual infrastructures often determine their restoration efforts in an independent, decentralized manner with little communication among them. We provide algorithms to model various levels of decentralization in IIR efforts. These algorithms are applied to realistic damage scenarios for interdependent infrastructure systems in order to determine the loss in restoration effectiveness resulting from decentralized decision-making. Our computational tests demonstrate that this loss can be greatly mitigated by having infrastructures share information about their planned restoration efforts.
