This paper presents the fundamental theory and algorithms for identifying the most preferred alternative for a decision maker (DM) having a non-centrist (or extremist) preferentia...
Deterministic optimization approaches have been well developed and widely used in the process industry to accomplish off-line and on-line process optimization. The challenging tas...
We develop a solution approach for the fixed charge network flow problem (FCNF) that produces provably high-quality solutions quickly. The solution approach combines mathematica...
