Then, for example, minimization of the expression Sigma jxj, subject to restrictions Sigma jaijxj ≫ 1 and xj a non-negative integer, is equivalent to obtaining a normal form for Phi with a minimal ...

The investigation presented in this paper describes the problem of determining the proper quantities of fuel to be supplied from several production sources to meet plant requirements in such a manner ...

This interval is determined using linear programming techniques. Finally, bounding convex envelope approximating problems are constructed and solved globally over any remaining intervals. Intervals ...

The essential features of the branch-and-bound approach to constrained optimization are described, and several specific applications are reviewed. These include integer linear programming (Land-Doig ...
