The feasibility pump is a well-established primal heuristic for mixed integer programming (MIP) that alternates between solving a linear programming (LP) relaxation of the original problem and ...

This paper presents the results of experimentation on the development of an efficient branch-and-bound algorithm for the solution of zero-one linear mixed integer programming problems. An implicit ...

This paper describes the development of a mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) model for the standard N-job, M-machine flowshop sequencing problem. Based on an earlier all-integer model developed ...

Delivering blood from collection sites to labs is a fast-paced, labor-intensive process. Donated blood can deteriorate within a few hours at room temperature, leaving little room to maneuver in case ...

Researchers have modeled a hybrid financing scheme combining contracted and merchant components to improve the bankability of PV-battery energy storage system (PV-BESS) assets, using a Bayesian LSTM ...

Findings from the Sijiaying Iron Mine research offer a robust framework for mining companies to determine optimal transition ...

Traffic modeling has been of interest to mathematicians since the 1950s. Research in the area has only grown as road traffic control presents an ever-increasing problem. In a new paper, authors ...

Roughly, we will cover the following topics (some of them may be skipped depending on the time available). Linear Programming: Basics, Simplex Algorithm, and Duality. Applications of Linear ...

Researchers integrated the technology with mobile donation vehicles to create a flexible and time-sensitive collection system ...
