Abstract: We examine various aspects of modeling and solution via mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP). MINLP has much to offer as a powerful modeling paradigm. Recently, significant advances ...

Abstract: We present a mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) formulation of a UAV path optimization problem, and attempt to find the global optimum solution. As objective functions in UAV path ...

Aim to minimize the combined fixed and transportation costs by deciding which of five plants to keep open or what have to close.

This project uses ordinal optimization for computationally efficient sizing of a hybrid energy system containing PV panels, batteries, diesel generators, and an intermittent grid. It also utilizes ...

The optimisation of gas networks has emerged as a critical field in energy systems engineering, incorporating advanced nonlinear programming techniques to address the increasing complexity of gas ...

BOZEMAN, Mont.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Analytics software leader FICO today announced the release of a true global mathematical optimization solver as part of FICO ® Xpress 9.2 Optimization. The global ...

This paper presents a novel approach to the joint optimization of job scheduling and data allocation in grid computing environments. We formulate this joint optimization problem as a mixed integer ...
