A basic text in linear programming, the solution of systems of linear equalities. The subjects covered include the concepts, origins and formulations of linear programs, and the simplex method of solution as applied to t...

The method of linear programming (LP) was utilized to determine the relationship between the composition of nutrients of each ingredients, specifications for raw materials, cost and requirements for nutrients of the red ...

Abstract In this paper, we have been suggested an alterative rational technique to compute the value of the objective function of a multi-objective linear programming problems. Numerical results indicate that the efficie...

We study the capacitated m-ring-star problem (CmRSP) that faces the design of minimum cost network structure that connects customers with m rings using a set of ring connections that share a distinguished node (depot), a...

Models representing batch plants, especially flowshop facilities where all the products require the same processing sequence, have received much attention in the last decades. In particular, plant design and production s...

Linear programming is a special field of applied mathematics that deals with solving optimization problems while certain conditions or constraints must be fulfilled. Aim of linear programming is to find a solution how to...

Operations Research, Management Science or Business Analytics is a technology that helps improve business decision making. This book is focused on linear, integer, nonlinear and multiobjective programming, as well as mul...

A novel approach to approximately solving the restricted-control LQR problem online is substantiated and applied in two case-studies.  The first example is a one-dimensional system whose exact solution is known.  The o...

We apply mathematical and computational techniques to the development of an approach for optimizing the waste collection system of the Argentine city of Berazategui, 26 km south of Buenos Aires. Taking full account of th...

Teaching econometrics has been studied by a number of researchers, however, there is little information available on the quality of examination and on simplification of tests for demonstration the high-quality knowledge ...

ABSTRACT Reduced-impact logging is a well known practice applied in most sustainable forest management plans in the Amazon. Nevertheless, there are still ways to improve the operational planning process. Therefore, the a...

This paper proposes three novel integer linear programming (ILP) formulations, where the first model deals with the Grooming, Routing, Wavelength Assignment, and Carrier Ethernet Interface Allocation Problem (GRWA-I); th...

The objective of this study was to develop an economically optimal plan for pasture production and supplementary feeding of horses. The plan was based on the optimization of a multiperiodic linear programming model with ...

Economic textbooks relate the principle of comparative advantage using examples of two products and two countries, the 2x2 case. We shall suggest an approach describing any finite number of products m and countries n, th...

Abstract The problem of optimizing a certain systems as a function of time may be formulated in terms of maximizing or minimizing a non-linear cost function. It was found that a Dynamic Programming (DP) algorithm was par...
