Integer programming, a cornerstone of combinatorial optimisation, focuses on the selection of discrete decision variables to solve complex real‐world problems such as scheduling, network design and ...

Abstract: This chapter presents development of the random search method in context of the linear integer programming model, mixed-integer programming model and the extreme point mathematical ...

Abstract: Integer programming with block structures has received considerable attention recently and is widely used in many practical applications such as train timetabling and vehicle routing ...

The objective of the 3D-SCALO problem is to assign the given components to optimal mounting surfaces and position them at the best locations, while satisfying the requirements for (1) heat dissipation ...
