This paper presents a sequential two-stage strategy for the stochastic synthesis of chemical processes in which flexibility and ability to adjust manipulated variables are taken i...
The algorithmic framework developed for improving heuristic solutions of the new version of deterministic TSP [Choi et al., 2002] is extended to the stochastic case. To verify the...
Bifurcation theory provides a powerful tool for analyzing the nonlinear dynamic behavior of process systems. However, although the theory in principle applies to lumped as well as...
The problem addressed in this work is to develop a comprehensive mathematical programming model for the efficient scheduling of oil-refinery operations. Our approach is first to d...
This contribution deals with scheduling problems of flexible chemical batch processes with a special emphasis on their real-time character. This implies not only the need for suff...
