Formulate linear and integer programming problems for solving commonly encountered optimization problems. Understand how approximation algorithms compute solutions that are guaranteed to be within ...

This paper presents a new mixed-integer linear formulation for the unit commitment problem of thermal units. The formulation proposed requires fewer binary variables and constraints than previously ...

A timetabling problem is formulated as a large integer linear programming problem in 0-1 variables. A solution method based on Lagrangean relaxation coupled with subgradient optimization is presented.

This paper is concerned with a new linearization strategy for a class of zero-one mixed integer programming problems that contains quadratic cross-product terms between continuous and binary variables ...

The formulated weighted goal programming DASH diet model is further illustrated using chosen sample foods from the DASH food chart as used in the work on the linear programming DASH diet model for a ...

As the title suggests, I have a problem in which I need to formulate an LP model. I'm supposed to work in Excel and use the Solver Add-in feature.I've done several other problems already, but this ...

This paper investigates the Flexible Layout Design Problem (FLDP), which involves a set of stations arranged in a matrix-structured manufacturing system (MMS). Initially, the main objectives are to ...
