Many important optimization problems, such as manufacturing scheduling and power system unit commitment, are formulated as Mixed-Integer Linear Programming (MILP) problems. Such problems are generally ...

On the other hand, a second scenario was defined in which variable prices – adjusted according to economic estimates and the financial situation of each country – were introduced.

We developed spreadsheet linear-programming models for planning shipments of finished goods between vendors, manufacturing plants, warehouses, and customers to minimize overall cost subject to maximum ...

Recently, recurrent neural networks have been extensively utilized to address a time-dependent system of linear equations (TDSLEs) with inequality systems. Nevertheless, these existing studies only ...

Discussed here is "routine optimization," an approach to obviousness in cases where the gap between the prior art and patent claims appears to be one that the hypothetical person of ordinary skill ...
