Then, the model is discretized and turned into a multi-step decision optimization problem. All the nonlinear constraints are approximated using piecewise affine (PWA) functions, and the trajectory ...

Motion in a Straight Line: Linear motors provide exceptional and stable performance over the life of the machine.

We developed spreadsheet linear-programming models for planning shipments of finished goods between vendors, manufacturing plants, warehouses, and customers to minimize overall cost subject to maximum ...

This has prompted researchers to apply linear programming optimization techniques to find an optimal solution to this problem by maximizing the objective function subject to a set of constraints as it ...

Linear Programming: Basics, Simplex Algorithm, and Duality. Applications of Linear Programming: regression, classification and other engineering applications. Integer Linear Programming: Basics, ...

Here’s a bit of the history. Operations Research And Mathematical Programming The original name for our field was "operations research," and "mathematical programming" was much of what we did.

Lack of manpower is often cited as the most pressing barrier to the adoption of multiunit or refinery-wide optimization, as more and more workers retire out of industry and plants scramble to hire and ...
