In this paper, we present a review of deterministic software for solving convex MINLP
problems as well as a comprehensive comparison of a large selection of commonly …

Facility layout problems are an important class of operations research problems that has
been studied for several decades. Most variants of facility layout are NP-hard, therefore …

Many optimal decision problems in scientific, engineering, and public sector applications
involve both discrete decisions and nonlinear system dynamics that affect the quality of the …

This paper is motivated by the fact that mixed integer nonlinear programming is an important
and difficult area for which there is a need for develo** new methods and software for …

This manuscript reviews recent advances in deterministic global optimization for Mixed-
Integer Nonlinear Programming (MINLP), as well as Constrained Derivative-Free …

This paper provides a survey of recent progress and software for solving convex Mixed
Integer Nonlinear Programs (MINLP) s, where the objective and constraints are defined by …

This paper presents a biased random-key genetic algorithm (BRKGA) for the unequal area
facility layout problem (UA-FLP) where a set of rectangular facilities with given area …

This paper describes a new instance library for quadratic programming (QP), ie, the family of
continuous and (mixed)-integer optimization problems where the objective function and/or …

We describe a new solver for convex mixed-integer nonlinear programs (MINLPs) that
implements a linearization-based algorithm. The solver is based on an algorithm of …

Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) is a young metaheuristic algorithm which has shown
promising results in solving many optimization problems. To date, a formal ACO-based …
