Global optimization of nonlinear mixed-integer programming (MINLP) addresses decision problems in which some variables are constrained to take integer values, while the objective function or ...

Combinatorial optimization and integer programming form the backbone of decision-making models in which discrete choices must be made under constraints. At its core, integer programming specialises in ...

A new optimization technique could help conservation biologists choose the most cost-effective ways of connecting isolated populations of rare, threatened and endangered species living in protected ...
