In this paper, we present the derivation of the multiparametric disaggregation technique (MDT) by Teles et al. (J. Glob. Optim., <CitationRef CitationID="CR30">2011</CitationRef>) for solving nonconvex bilinear programs. Both upper and lower bounding formulations corresponding to mixed-integer linear programs are derived using disjunctive...</citationref>

For this study, we constructed the following three case scenarios based on the Taiwanese government's energy policy: a normal scenario, the 2008 “Sustainable Energy Policy Convention” scenario, and the 2011 “New Energy Policy” scenario. We then employed a long-term Generation Expansion...

Bioethanol produced from lignocellulosic feedstock show enormous potential as an economically and environmentally sustainable renewable energy source. Switchgrass (panicum virgatum) is considered as one of the best second generation feedstock for bioethanol production. In order to commercialize...

In supply chain strategy, designing a network is one of the most important part. This model deals with various dimensional facility location models. Initially, this paper begins with two echelon facility location model of dimension two. Then, it is extended to three dimensional model by adding...

Purpose – This research studies a plastic recycling system from a reverse logistics angle and investigates the potential benefits of a multimodality strategy to the network design of plastic recycling. This research aims to quantify the impact of multimodality on the network, to provide...
