A pioneering look at the fundamental role of logic in optimization and constraint satisfaction
While recent efforts to combine optimization and constraint satisfaction have received …

In principle, optimization‐based “superstructure” methods for process synthesis can be more
powerful than sequential‐conceptual methods as they account for all complex interactions …

This paper presents a systematic approach for the optimal production planning and facility
placement of a biorefinery. A structural representation is first developed to include sources of …

This paper presents a mathematical programming formulation for the synthesis of heat
exchanger networks minimizing simultaneously the total annual cost and the environmental …

We present an extension to the multi-product newsvendor problem by incorporating the
retailer's pricing decision as well as considering supplier quantity discount. The objective is …

This article presents research on the core technology in advanced planning and scheduling
(APS) systems that are currently the state-of-art in supply chain planning and optimisation …

This paper presents a new methodology for the energy integration of systems that require
refrigeration. It considers the integration between process streams as well as that between …

This paper presents a new mixed-integer nonlinear programming model for the optimal
allocation of a new industrial plant which impacts the water quality throughout a surrounding …

An algorithm is given in this paper for the computation of dynamically equivalent weakly
reversible realizations with the maximal number of reactions, for chemical reaction networks …

This paper presents a new general mathematical programming model for the optimal retrofit
of material conservation networks considering recycle, reuse and regeneration schemes …
