Redundancy in constraints and variables are usually studied in linear, integer and non-linear programming problems. However, main emphasis has so far been given only to linear programming problems. In this paper, an algorithm that identifies redundant objective functions in multi-objective...

Structural redundancies in mathematical programming models are nothing uncommon and nonlinear programming problems are no exception. Over the past few decades numerous papers have been written on redundancy. Redundancy in constraints and variables are usually studied in a class of mathematical...

Genetic algorithm (GA) approach is developed for solving the P-model of chance constrained data envelopment analysis (CCDEA) problems, which include the concept of "Satisficing". Problems here include cases in which inputs and outputs are stochastic, as well as cases in which only the outputs...

The printed circuit board (PCB) assembling production process is generally optimized to ensure very low levels of errors (defects) so as to produce the higher quality product. The evaluation of efficiency of different types of PCB (cards) could help the management in identifying the quality of...
