Abstract: In this paper, we discuss a practical branch and bound algorithm for solving rank-p linear multiplicative programming problem (LMP). We will show that the programming problem can be solved ...

Abstract: The Branch and Bound (BB) algorithm, while ensuring optimality, often encounters performance bottlenecks, characterized by slow execution and high computational overhead, especially when ...

This project implements a Branch and Bound (B&B) algorithm to solve the Agile Earth Observation Satellite Scheduling (AEOSS) problem — a complex NP-hard combinatorial optimization challenge. The ...

The "branch-and-bound" algorithm for the exact solution of a three-machine scheduling problem proposed by Lomnicki has been generalized to the case of an arbitrary number of machines (under the ...

This paper considers a production planning problem in disassembly systems, which is the problem of determining the quantity and timing of disassembling end-of-use/life products in order to satisfy the ...

TSP(vector<vector<int>>& matrix) { dist_matrix = matrix; n = dist_matrix.size(); } // Function to calculate the lower bound for a given path int bound(vector<int ...
