Abstract: This paper models an operation problem of an unmanned aerial vehicle for the emergency medical service (UEMS) system. The model is set up as a location-allocation problem. The coverage ...

Two-dimensional (2D) irregular packing problems are widespread in manufacturing industries such as shipbuilding, metalworking, automotive production, aerospace, clothing and furniture manufacturing.

In this paper, we propose a novel MIP-based heuristic method to deal with a lot sizing and scheduling problem with multiple heterogeneous production lines in a production setting with perishable items ...

Uncertainties are widespread in the optimization of process systems, such as uncertainties in process technologies, prices, and customer demands. In this paper, we review the basic concepts and recent ...

This paper presents a continuous method for solving binary quadratic programming problems. First, the original problem is converted into an equivalent continuous optimization problem by using NCP ...
