Using standard nonlinear programming (NLP) theory, we establish formulas for first and second order directional derivatives for optimal value functions of parametric mathematical ...
Background: The protein folding problem remains one of the most challenging open problems in computational biology. Simplified models in terms of lattice structure and energy func...
Focus in the paper is on the definition of linear bilevel programming problems, the existence of optimal solutions and necessary as well as sufficient optimality conditions. In th...
This paper considers Just-In-Time Job-Shop Scheduling, in which each activity has an earliness and a tardiness cost with respect to a due date. It proposes a constraint programmin...
Dedicated machine constraint is one of the new challenges introduced in photolithography machinery of the semiconductor manufacturing system due to natural bias. Previous research...
