In this work a new optimization method, called the heuristic Kalman algorithm (HKA), is presented. This new algorithm is proposed as an alternative approach for solving continuous,...
—Many important network design problems can be formulated as a combinatorial optimization problem. A large number of such problems, however, cannot readily be tackled by distribu...
Abstract. Most optimization software performs numerical computation, in the sense that the main interest is to find numerical values to assign to the decision variables, e.g. a so...
Most previous research into the job-shop scheduling problem has concentrated on finding a single optimal solution (e.g., makespan), even though the actual requirement of most prod...
In this paper, we propose two new support vector approaches for ordinal regression, which optimize multiple thresholds to define parallel discriminant hyperplanes for the ordinal...
We outline a new approach for radiosurgery treatment planning, based on solving a series of optimization problems. We consider a specific treatment planning problem for a speciali...
Solving optimization problems with multiple (often conflicting) objectives is, generally, a very difficult goal. Evolutionary algorithms (EAs) were initially extended and applied ...
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...
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 a novel recurrent neural network for solving nonlinear optimization problems with inequality constraints. Under the condition that the Hessian matrix of the ass...
