We consider the mission and flight planning problem for an inhomogeneous fleet of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Therein, the mission planning problem of assigning targets to a fleet of UAVs and the flight planning problem of finding optimal flight trajectories between a given set of waypoints...

The computational utility of inductive linearizations for binary quadratic programs when combined with a mixed-integer programming solver is investigated for several combinatorial optimization problems and established benchmark instances.

This book offers an up-to-date description of relaxation/approximation and decomposition techniques, demonstrating how their combined use efficiently solves large-scale optimization problems relevant to engineering, particularly in electrical, and industrial engineering, with a focus on energy....
