In this paper we show that the problem of optimal mine planning can be cast in the framework of receding horizon control. Traditional formulations of this problem have cast it in ...
Significant advances have been made in the last two decades for the effective solution of mixed integer non-linear programming (MINLP) problems, mainly by exploiting the special s...
In K(n, n) with edges colored either red or blue, we show that the problem of finding a solution matching, a perfect matching consisting of exactly r red edges, and (n - r) blue e...
Abstract. An efficient optimum solution is presented for a real-life employee daysoff scheduling problem with a three-week cycle. Over a given work cycle, each worker is given 14 s...
This paper presents an overview of our most recent results concerning the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) method. Techniques for the alleviation of local minima, and for detectin...
