Microarray experiments are emerging as one of the main driving forces in modern biology. By allowing the simultaneous monitoring of the expression of the entire genome for a given...
In this paper, a rigorous MILP formulation for grass-root design of heat exchanger networks is developed. The methodology does not rely on traditional supertargeting followed by n...
Optimal control problems involve the difficult task of determining time-varying profiles through dynamic optimization. Such problems become even more complex in practical situatio...
This paper treats the solution of nonlinear optimization problems involving discrete decision variables, also known as generalized disjunctive programming (GDP) or mixed-integer n...
This paper presents some new concepts and procedures for financial risk management. To complement the use of value at risk a new concept, upside potential or opportunity value as ...
