This paper deals with the Steelmaking and Casting phases of a real integrated plant. We focus on the scheduling of the casts on the machines of the process and on the cranes that perform the internal ...

A mixed integer linear programming model for a minimum backbone grid is proposed in this paper, which considers the practical application requirements. More importantly, the model can ensure network ...

Learn about the different types of linear programming models used in optimization for algorithms, such as standard, canonical, integer, mixed-integer, and quadratic models.

Production optimization of gas-lifted oil wells with routing and pressure constraints is a complex problem, which has attracted the interest of engineers and scientists alike. To this end, a ...

The model is formulated as a nonlinear integer programming problem. By reformulating it as a mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) problem and using an associated convex relaxation model for ...

Benchmark instances modelling the supply chain of a fictive company producing and selling cell phones and accessories of different types. The instances formulate typical mixed-integer linear ...

A new mixed integer linear programming (MILP) model suitable for optimizing scheduling problems typical in chemical and related industries is developed. These problems have characteristics like ...

To obtain a minimum backbone grid, a mixed integer linear programming (MILP) model with network connectivity constraints for a minimum backbone grid is proposed. In the model, some constraints are ...
