SoPlex is an optimization package for solving linear programming problems (LPs) based on an advanced implementation of the primal and dual revised simplex algorithm. It provides special support for ...

In this paper a new hybrid glowworm swarm algorithm (SAGSO) for solving structural optimization problems is presented. The structure proposed to be optimized here is a simply-supported concrete I-beam ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. In 1939, upon arriving late to his statistics course at UC Berkeley, George Dantzig—a first-year graduate student—copied two problems ...

The leading approach to the simplex method, a widely used technique for balancing complex logistical constraints, can’t get any better. In 1939, upon arriving late to his statistics course at the ...

Abstract: This paper presents the hybridization of particle swarm optimization (PSO) with simplex search method (SM). SM is a deterministic method which is generally used for the local search and PSO ...

Since its creation more than two decades ago by Daniel Spielman (above) and Shang-hua Teng, smoothed analysis has been used to analyze performance of algorithms other than the simplex method, ...

Multiple objectives to be optimized simultaneously are prevalent in real-life problems. This paper develops a new Pareto Method for bi-objective optimization which yields analytical solutions. The ...

Process integration and optimization are important areas within process system engineering. It identifies targets and utilizes synergies in the overall production process, and minimizes the ...
