This paper presents a column generation approach for assigning faculty members to sections of offered classes (class-sections) in a case study related to Kuwait University. For a given class, the total number of class-sections to be offered is known; however, the distribution of these...

In this paper, we propose two sets of theoretically filtered bound-factor constraints for constructing reformulation-linearization technique (RLT)-based linear programming (LP) relaxations for solving polynomial programming problems. We establish related theoretical results for convergence to a...

In this paper, we model and solve the problem of designing and allocating coastal seaspace sectors for steady-state patrolling operations by the vessels of a maritime protection agency. The problem addressed involves optimizing a multi-criteria objective function that minimizes a weighted...

In this paper, we design a new variable target value procedure, the trust region target value (TRTV) method, for optimizing nondifferentiable Lagrangian dual formulations of large-scale, ill-conditioned linear programming problems. Such problems typically arise in the context of Lagrangian...

In this paper, a parametric algorithm is introduced for computing all eigenvalues for two Eigenvalue Complementarity Problems discussed in the literature.
