An important class of mathematical programming problems is the scheduling of manufacturing and transportation systems. In many cases, the independent variables which describe the manufacturing system ...
Mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) optimisation constitutes a critical methodology in tackling complex decision-making problems where both discrete choices and continuous variables are ...
Integer programming, a cornerstone of combinatorial optimisation, focuses on the selection of discrete decision variables to solve complex real‐world problems such as scheduling, network design and ...
