Second, the conversion to a single-objective optimization problem involves additional constraints. Third, since most real-world goal programming problems involve nonlinear criterion functions, the ...

The optimisation of gas networks has emerged as a critical field in energy systems engineering, incorporating advanced nonlinear programming techniques to address the increasing complexity of gas ...

In regression problems alternative criteria of "best fit" to least squares are least absolute deviations and least maximum deviations. In this paper it is noted that linear programming techniques may ...
