An important class of mathematical programming problems is the scheduling of manufacturing and transportation systems. In many cases, the independent variables which describe the manufacturing system ...

Mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) optimisation constitutes a critical methodology in tackling complex decision-making problems where both discrete choices and continuous variables are ...

This paper investigates the solution by integer programming of reliability optimization problems which are subject to linear and nonlinear separable restraints. In particular, the following problems ...
