Concave objective functions which are both piecewise linear and separable are often encountered in a wide variety of management science problems. Provided the constraints are linear, problems of this ...

This course examines formulation and solution of applicable optimization models, including linear, integer, nonlinear, and network problems, efficient algorithm methods, and use of computer modeling ...

Diet models based on goal programming (GP) are valuable tools in designing diets that comply with nutritional, palatability and cost constraints. Results derived from GP models are usually very ...
