The Hopfield neural network (HNN) is one major neural network (NN) for solving optimization or mathematical programming (MP) problems. The major advantage of HNN is in its structure can be realized on an electronic circuit, possibly on a VLSI (very large-scale integration) circuit, for an...

Information of sensitivity analysis, in a linear programming problem, is usually more important than the optimal solution itself. However, traditional sensitivity analysis, which perturbs exactly one coefficient and then determines the range preserving the optimality of the current optimal base,...
