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 ...

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 ...

Modeling of the internal control system provides an element of structure and objectivity to the design and evaluation of the system. A model for the design of an internal control system is proposed ...

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 ...

Delivering blood from collection sites to labs is a fast-paced, labor-intensive process. Donated blood can deteriorate within a few hours at room temperature, leaving little room to maneuver in case ...

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 ...
