ABSTRACT: This article examines some of the properties of quasi-Fejer sequences when used in quasi-gradiental techniques as an alternative to stochastic search techniques for optimizing unconstrained ...

Formulations of mathematical programs often require that some of the decision variables take only integer values. Consider the formulation You can follow the same steps to identify binary variables.

In this paper we discuss some branch and bound methods implemented in the UMPIRE mathematical programming system for solving practical integer programming problems and give details of computational ...

Abstract: In manufacturing-related industries, scheduling of resources and tasks play an important role in improving efficiency and productivity as well as reducing costs. Job-shop scheduling problem ...

Abstract: This paper presents a new mixed-integer linear formulation for the unit commitment problem of thermal units. The formulation proposed requires fewer binary variables and constraints than ...
