This book provides a postgraduate audience the keys they need to understand and further develop a set of tools for the efficient computation of lower bounds and valid inequalities in integer programs and combinatorial optimization problems. After discussing the classical approaches described in...

This book provides a comprehensive overview of the most important and frequently considered optimization problems concerning cutting and packing. Based on appropriate modeling approaches for the problems considered, it offers an introduction to the related solution methods. It also addresses...

Paul Williams, a leading authority on modeling in integer programming, has written a concise, readable introduction to the science and art of using modeling in logic for integer programming. Written for graduate and postgraduate students, as well as academics and practitioners, the book is...

This book presents solutions to the general problem of single period portfolio optimization. It introduces different linear models, arising from different performance measures, and the mixed integer linear models resulting from the introduction of real features. Other linear models, such as...

Practitioners in process industry have to increasingly adapt their global production networks to changes in the competitive environment. A majority of the supply network design models proposed by academia do not sufficiently capture the questions that have to be resolved. This book provides the...

This book deals with stochastic combinatorial optimization problems in supply chain disruption management, with a particular focus on management of disrupted flows in customer-driven supply chains. The problems are modeled using a scenario based stochastic mixed integer programming to address...

Ein wichtiges Teilgebiet des Operations Research ist die Projektplanung. Mit ihren Methoden kann der Ablauf unterschiedlicher in der Praxis auftretender Projekte geplant werden. Cord-Ulrich Fündeling entwickelt exakte und heuristische Lösungsverfahren für verschiedene Varianten eines...

In der Finanzwelt ist der Einsatz von Finanzderivaten zu einem unentbehrlichen Hilfsmittel zur Absicherung von Risiken geworden. Dieses Buch richtet sich an Studierende der (Finanz-) Mathematik und der Wirtschaftswissenschaften im Hauptstudium, die mehr über Finanzderivate und ihre...
