Coordinated planning in a three-level active system (Q1113794)

We consider the problem of coordinated planning for a given functioning mechanism coordinated by plan fulfillment in a three-level active system with passive intermediate centers under conditions of complete information. We specialize the model to some important practical cases: a) the main center problem is convex, while the problems of the intermediate centers and the active elements are linear; b) the coordinated planning problem is entirely linear. The original problem is transformed to an equivalent coordinated planning problem for a two-level active system. We show that the equivalent problem can be solved by parametric methods based on a parametric description of the set of coordinated plans.
