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...
Outliers are observations that do not follow the statistical distribution of the bulk of the data, and consequently may lead to erroneous results with respect to statistical analy...
Following from part I, which presents a retrospective on optimization, we focus here on areas that are recent active research topics and are likely to strongly influence the futur...
Numerous approaches to information modeling exist within chemical engineering representing product data, work processes, or other information. These models have a limited scope an...
In this paper we provide a general classification of mathematical optimization problems, followed by a matrix of applications that shows the areas in which these problems have bee...
