Mathematical programming with vanishing constraints (MPVC) represents a challenging class of optimisation problems where certain constraints become inactive—or “vanish”—depending on ...

We develop an alternative optimization solution approach for the MVPDP that does not require these constraints to be tight. The problem is formulated as a 0–1 integer-programming problem. A branch-and ...
