In this paper we present several "infeasible-start" path-following and potential-reduction primal-dual interior-point methods for non-linear conic problems. These methods try to find a recession direction of the feasible set of a self-dual homogeneous primal-dual problem.

Given a network, the facility location problem consists of locating a set of sites on the network to serve existing clients so as to minimize its total cost. Special cases include the simple plant location problem (SPLP), bank account location, p-facility location, and p-median problem.

Develops an optimization model to optimize software quality within budget and time limitations. Software quality is described through quality factors. This model assumes a non‐linear relationship between quality factors and the effort spent in the development phases. Enables a software manager...

Aggregation von Information in Verbindung mit einem mehrstufigen Vorgehen ist ein Instrument, um komplexe Planungsprobleme anzugehen. Das Buch untersucht, wie die Probleme aus dem Informationsverlust, der durch die Aggregation verursacht wird, im Rahmen eines iterativen Planungskonzeptes...
