In this study we apply the African buffalo optimization (ABO) to solve benchmark global optimization problems. Such problems which are artificial representation of different search landscapes ranging ...

Description: Survey of the basic computational tools for solving nonlinear constrained and unconstrained optimization problems. Emphasis on methods applicable to problems arising in chemical plant ...

Description: Basics of numerical optimization: problem formulation, conditions of optimality, search direction and step length. Calculus-based techniques for univariate and multivariate optimization.

A major assumption in the analysis of (s, S) inventory systems with stochastic lead times is that orders are received in the same sequence as they are placed. Even under this assumption, much of the ...

Studies linear and nonlinear programming, the simplex method, duality, sensitivity, transportation and network flow problems, some constrained and unconstrained optimization theory, and the ...

Established in 2002, the Lagrange Prize in Continuous Optimization is awarded jointly by the Mathematical Programming Society (MPS) and the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM). SIAM ...

Constrained quantization for a Borel probability measure refers to the idea of estimating a given probability by a discrete probability with a finite number of supporting points lying on a specific ...
