This paper presents a survey of simulation and optimization modeling approaches used in reservoir systems operation problems. Optimization methods have been proved of much importance when used with simulation modeling and the two approaches when combined give the best results. The main objective...

In this paper, we propose a new nonmonotone algorithm using the sequential systems of linear equations, which is an infeasible QP-free method. We use neither a penalty function nor a filter. Therefore, it is unnecessary to choose a problematic penalty parameter. The new algorithm only needs to...

In this paper a solution algorithm for a class of rank-two nonconvex programs having a polyhedral feasible region is proposed. The algorithm is based on the so called optimal level solutions method. Various global optimality conditions are discussed and implemented in order to improve the...
