The key idea is to use binary linear programming for assigning objects to clusters. Unlike existing extensions of the k-means algorithm that are designed for accommodating specific types of ...

This paper fulfills the need by proposing an improved binary linear programming model for LCA system boundary identification. The objective function of the model is to minimize the number of processes ...

We give a branch-and-cut algorithm for solving linear programs (LPs) with continuous separable piecewise-linear cost functions (PLFs). Models for PLFs use continuous variables in special-ordered sets ...
