Many actual situations can be represented in a realistic manner by the two-stage stochastic nonlinear programming problem MinxEmin y[φ (x)+ψ (y)] subject to g(x)+h(y)≥ b, where b is a random vector ...

Computers are becoming cheaper and faster, and more efficient nonlinear programming (NLP) algorithms are being developed. This paper attempts to illustrate the potential of NLP by describing the ...

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