In this paper, we present both academic and industrial perspectives on the research and
applications of Process Systems Engineering (PSE). After a brief introduction on the history …

A smooth penalty function method which does not involve dual and slack implicit variables to
formulate constrained optimization conditions is proposed. New active and loss functions …

This paper addresses an integrated physical supply channel, aggregate production, and
transportation planning problem through the lens of social sustainability under uncertainty …

This paper studies binary quadratic programs in which the objective is defined by the
maximisation of a Euclidean distance matrix, subject to a general polyhedral constraint set …

The use of commercial flowsheeting programs enables straight-forward use of rigorous, but
user hidden, mathematical formulations of chemical processes. The optimization of such …

We consider electricity capacity expansion models, which optimize investment and
retirement decisions by minimizing both investment and operation costs. In order to provide …

We address the daily scheduling of generating units (unit commitment) in a system whose
production mix includes a large number of natural-gas-fired units. We assume that the …

This paper presents the distributed primal outer approximation (DiPOA) algorithm for solving
sparse convex programming (SCP) problems with separable structures, efficiently, and in a …

Different versions of polyhedral outer approximation are used by many algorithms for mixed-
integer nonlinear programming (MINLP). While it has been demonstrated that such methods …

Currently, few approaches are available for mixed-integer nonlinear robust optimization.
Those that do exist typically either require restrictive assumptions on the problem structure …
