The effectiveness and efficiency of optimization algorithms might deteriorate when solving large-scale binary integer programs (BIPs). Consequently, researchers have tried to fix the values of certain variables called adjunct variables, and only optimize a small problem version formed from the...

The paper investigates the Electric Vehicle Routing Problem with a non-linear concave and strictly monotonic increasing charging function. In the literature, the non-linear charging function is typically approximated by a piecewise linear charging function which does not overestimate the real...

Orthogonal arrays are of great importance in mathematical sciences. This paper analyses a certain practical advantage of quasi-difference matrices over difference matrices to obtain orthogonal arrays with given parameters. We also study the existence of quasi-difference matrices over cyclic...

This paper proposes a novel model formulation for the Maximum Covering Species Problem that incorporates spatial connectivity requirements. This model, called the Connected Maximum Covering Species Problem, enforces structural connectivity and relies on knowledge of induced paths, or what we...

Portfolio optimization is an activity for balancing return and risk. In this paper, we used mean-variance (M-V) portfolio models with buy-in threshold and cardinality constraints. This model can be formulated as a mixed integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) problem. To solve this constrained...
