Global optimisation of sum of ratios problems represents a formidable challenge in contemporary applied mathematics and operations research. Such problems involve objective functions that are ...

As the title suggests, I have a problem in which I need to formulate an LP model. I'm supposed to work in Excel and use the Solver Add-in feature.<BR><BR>I've done several other problems already, but ...

An optimization problem is one where you have to make the best decision (choose the best investments, minimize your company’s costs, find the class schedule with the fewest morning classes, or so on).

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract A greedy algorithm solves a dual pair of linear programs where the primal variables are associated to the elements of a sublattice B of a ...
