This paper describes a methodology for the case mix problem in the health care sector. Aiming at maximizing the overall financial contribution of the given resource capacity within a hospital, the case mix problem is formulated as an integer linear programming model to produce the optimal...

Most earth observation satellites (EOSs) are equipped with optical sensors, which cannot see through the clouds. Hence, observations are significantly affected and blocked by clouds. In this work, with the inspiration of the notion of a forbidden sequence, we propose a novel assignment...
