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 deals with linear programming techniques and their application in optimizing lecture rooms in an institution. This linear programming formulated based on the available secondary ...

Abstract: Particle swarm optimization (PSO), genetic algorithm (GA), and nonlinear simplex optimization method (SOM) are some of the most prominent gradient-free optimization algorithms in engineering ...
