The feasibility pump is a well-established primal heuristic for mixed integer programming (MIP) that alternates between solving a linear programming (LP) relaxation of the original problem and ...

Integer programming and combinatorial optimization form the backbone of many decision-making and resource allocation problems across diverse fields, from logistics and telecommunications to finance ...

Scientists have used a CPLEX-based MIP model and tested it on a section of the 10 MW Masdar City Solar Photovoltaic Plant. In their simulation, they assume the use of two robotic cleaners to operate ...
