Computer programs to solve linear programming problems by the simplex method have existed since the early 1950s. They remain the central feature of today's mathematical programming systems. There has ...

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

This paper presents three algorithms for solving linear programming problems in which some or all of the objective function coefficients are specified in terms of intervals. Which algorithm is ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the Flexible Layout Design Problem (FLDP), which involves a set of stations arranged in a matrix-structured manufacturing system (MMS). Initially, the main objectives ...
