: This paper describes the implementation of a meta-heuristic optimization approach, Tabu Search (TS), for Heat Exchanger Networks (HEN) synthesis and compares this approach to oth...
We present a practical approach to Anstreicher and Lee’s masked spectral bound for maximum-entropy sampling, and we describe favorable results that we have obtained with a Branch...
This paper is motivated by the fact that mixed integer nonlinear programming is an important and difficult area for which there is a need for developing new methods and software f...

We propose a new algorithm for solving smooth nonlinear equations in the case where their solutions can be singular. Compared to other techniques for computing singular solutions, ...
The memory dumping problem arises in the context of planning and scheduling activities of the Mars Express mission of the European Space Agency. The problem consists of scheduling...
