Abstract: In this paper, we address the bin packing problem while minimizing the total loading cost of used bins. We focus on two different quantity discount schemes: the all unit discount and the ...

State-of-the-art techniques for pavement performance evaluation have attracted considerable attention in recent years. Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) can simulate the human brain to discover hidden ...

Abstract: In this paper, we define a new subclass of integer linear programming problems called the composition problem. We shall propose efficient algorithms for solving this problem and its variants ...
