Linear Programming: Basics, Simplex Algorithm, and Duality. Applications of Linear Programming: regression, classification and other engineering applications. Integer Linear Programming: Basics, ...

An example of the quadratic assignment problem (QAP) is the facility location problem, in which n facilities are assigned, at minimum cost, to n sites. Between each pair of facilities, there is a ...

In this paper higher dimensional cutting stock problems are discussed as linear programming problems. The corresponding difficulty of the number of columns cannot in general be overcome for there is ...
