Combinatorial optimization and integer programming form the backbone of decision-making models in which discrete choices must be made under constraints. At its core, integer programming specialises in ...

Global optimization of nonlinear mixed-integer programming (MINLP) addresses decision problems in which some variables are constrained to take integer values, while the objective function or ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 objective of the 3D-SCALO problem is to assign the given components to optimal mounting surfaces and position them at the best locations, while satisfying the requirements for (1) heat dissipation ...
