2 Problem Statement :1 Disruption of network to minimize the profit of the agent providing supplies from nodes 15, 16 and th AIMMS MOPTA Optimization Modeling Competition 2

3 Problem for the Supplier Agent (P 1) max x,y s.t p T x b T y Flow balance constraint : Ay x = 0 A : Incidence matrix Maximum demand constraint : x i d i i N Non negative demand constraint : x i 0 i N\{15, 16, 20} Edge capacity constraint : y j w j j E x i : Units supplied to node i p i : Profit per unit supply at node i y j : Units transported through edge j b j : Transportation cost per unit through edge j Solution of this problem is integral! (Proof: By mapping onto max flow problem after constructing super source and super sink) 8th AIMMS MOPTA Optimization Modeling Competition 3

4 Problem for the Disrupting Agent The above problem is written as a min-max problem With capacity of edge j is reduced to w j -c j (P 2) min c Budget constraints : max x,y pt x b T y s.t Ay x = 0 x i d i i N x i 0 i N\{15, 16, 20} y j w j c j j E w j c j 0 c j 0 c j budget j 8th AIMMS MOPTA Optimization Modeling Competition 4

5 Key Results Proposition 1: The marginal damages caused by disruption is a non-increasing function of edge capacity w j, j E Proposition 2: At most one edge is partially cut in the solution to P 2, i.e., given a disrupting budget, in the optimal solution to P 2, amongst all edges with c j > 0, at most one edge has c j < w j 8th AIMMS MOPTA Optimization Modeling Competition 5

6 Solution Approach - Problem 1 Solution to the supplier agent is mainly constrained by edge capacity constraints - Lagrange multipliers can be therefore used for edge selection Deterministic case: 1 Solve P1 and obtain the Lagrange multipliers of edge capacity constraints 2 Arrange the edges in decreasing order of the Lagrange multipliers 3 Select the first edge for disruption 4 Repeat the previous steps until budget is reached Randomized case: 1 Solve P1 and obtain the Lagrange multipliers of edge capacity constraints 2 Arrange the edges in decreasing order of the Lagrange multipliers 3 Select an edge among the ordered edges with a descending probability proportional to its value 4 Proceed until budget is reached 5 Repeat procedure (1)-(4) for a fixed number of user defined number of iterations 8th AIMMS MOPTA Optimization Modeling Competition 6

14 Solution Approach - Problem 2 1 Solve the problems of supplier agents independently 2 Reorganize the flows by retaining profit 3 Check if any edge is over the capacity? If yes- Solve the congestion pricing problem 4 Edges are disrupted following the randomized algorithm 5 Proceed until the budget is met 6 Repeat the steps (1)-(5) for a fixed user defined number of iterations 8th AIMMS MOPTA Optimization Modeling Competition 12

18 Conclusions A randomized algorithm for network disruption involving a single agent is proposed The profit of the supplier agent is reduced to almost one-fourth by disruption of 20% of the network The algorithm is extended to the case where there are multiple supplier agents present An interface is developed on AIMMS platform 8th AIMMS MOPTA Optimization Modeling Competition 16
