Abstract: We define events so as to reduce the number of events and decision variables needed for modeling batchscheduling problems such as described in [Westenberger and Kallrath ...
In a multi-unit firm, such as a retail chain or a multi-plant manufacturer, we compare the business strategies developed by unit managers with the strategies that maximize corporat...
Abstract. The generic hoist scheduling problem is NP-hard and arises from automated manufacturing lines. In recent work using the constraint logic programming (CLP) formalism, a un...
This article is devoted to adverse selection problems in which individual private information is a whole utility function and cannot be reduced to some finite-dimensional parameter...
A new algorithm for solving smooth large-scale minimization problems with bound constraints is introduced. The way of dealing with active constraints is similar to the one used in...
