Integer optimization models are mathematical tools that help you find the best solutions for problems that involve discrete variables, such as assigning tasks, scheduling activities, or routing ...

Abstract: The aim of the paper presented herein is to propose a new mixed integer formulation and an efficient metaheuristic for the Biobjective Cumulative Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem that ...

Abstract: In this paper, we propose a trilinear optimization formulation and four mixed integer bilinear formulations to compute the Nash equilibria of a 2-player discounted stochastic game. The ...

Portfolio Optimization (PO) is a fundamental financial task, with interesting applications in different scenarios, such as investment funds, pension schemes, and so on. Given a budget and/or a set of ...
