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 ...

In this paper, we give an applications-oriented survey of geometric programming. This important class of nonlinear programming problems has been intensively studied over the past decade and has played ...

Using dot notation enhances run-time performance if you declare the object used in the dot notation as an instance of a predefined class instead of declaring it as a generic object. The object's class ...

This paper looks at connections between the multi-criteria techniques of goal programming, compromise programming, and the reference point method. The utility function structure of each method is ...

An abstract class is a template definition of methods and variables in a specific class, or category of objects. In programming, objects are units of code, and each object is made into a generic class ...
