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 ...

In this paper, we give an applications-oriented survey of geometric programming. This important class of nonlinear programming problems has been intensively studied over the past decade and has played ...

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 ...

Mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) optimisation constitutes a critical methodology in tackling complex decision-making problems where both discrete choices and continuous variables are ...

Mathematical models of real-world phenomena are often nonlinear and too complicated to be solved exactly. Thus, new mathematical methods are required to analyse these models and determine what their ...
