We consider a supply network where the flow of parts can be controlled at the vertices of the network. Based on a coarse grid discretization provided in [6] we derive discrete adjoint equations which are subsequently validated by the continuous adjoint calculus. Moreover, we present numerical results concerning the quality of approximations and computing times of the presented approaches.

Abstract

We consider a supply network where the flow of parts can be controlled at the vertices of the network. Based on a coarse grid discretization provided in [6] we derive discrete adjoint equations which are subsequently validated by the continuous adjoint calculus. Moreover, we present numerical results concerning the quality of approximations and computing times of the presented approaches.
