An algorithm which recursively generates the complete family of undominated feasible solutions to separable nonlinear multidimensional knapsack problems is developed by exploiting discontinuity preserving properties of the maximal convolution. The "curse of dimensionality," which is usually...

A practical mathematical programming model for the strategic fuel diversification problem is presented. The model is designed to consider the tradeoffs between the expected costs of investments in capacity, operating and maintenance costs, average fuel costs, and the variability of fuel costs....

Mathematical programming models for nutrition planning in developing nations typically involve the optimization of a single criterion function subject to resource and nutritional constraints. The nutritional constraints specify that the amount available of each nutrient for human consumption...
