The feasibility pump is a well-established primal heuristic for mixed integer programming (MIP) that alternates between solving a linear programming (LP) relaxation of the original problem and ...

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 ...

Abstract: This paper presents a formulation of fuzzy mixed integer programming (FMIP) solution for solving security-constrained unit commitment (SCUC) problem with emphasis on uncertainties in ...
