—Conserving network-wide energy consumption is becoming an increasingly important concern for network operators. In this work, we study network-wide energy conservation problem w...
Several methods have been proposed for handling nonlinear constraints by evolutionary algorithms for numerical optimization problems; a survey paper [7] provides an overview of var...
Nonlinear constraint systems can be solved by combining consistency techniques and search. In this approach, the search space is reduced using local reasoning on constraints. Howev...
MINLP problems are hard constrained optimization problems, with nonlinear constraints and mixed discrete continuous variables. They can be solved using a Branch-and-Bound scheme c...
