This paper describes the development of a mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) model for the standard N-job, M-machine flowshop sequencing problem. Based on an earlier all-integer model developed ...

Delivering blood from collection sites to labs is a fast-paced, labor-intensive process. Donated blood can deteriorate within ...

This paper presents the results of experimentation on the development of an efficient branch-and-bound algorithm for the solution of zero-one linear mixed integer programming problems. An implicit ...

The feasibility pump is a well-established primal heuristic for mixed integer programming (MIP) that alternates between solving a linear programming (LP) relaxation of the original problem and ...

Researchers have modeled a hybrid financing scheme combining contracted and merchant components to improve the bankability of PV-battery energy storage system (PV-BESS) assets, using a Bayesian LSTM ...

Delivering blood from collection sites to labs is a fast-paced, labour-intensive process. Donated blood can deteriorate ...

This course examines formulation and solution of applicable optimization models, including linear, integer, nonlinear, and network problems, efficient algorithm methods, and use of computer modeling ...

Mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) optimisation constitutes a critical methodology in tackling complex decision-making problems where both discrete choices and continuous variables are ...

The study introduces a sustainability-driven framework for evaluating reclaimed steel in construction, focusing on logistics ...
