Mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) optimisation constitutes a critical methodology in tackling complex decision-making problems where both discrete choices and continuous variables are ...

The nonlinear programming (NLP) problem with one objective function f and m constraint functions c i, which are continuously differentiable, is defined as follows: In the preceding notation, n is the ...

Traffic modeling has been of interest to mathematicians since the 1950s. Research in the area has only grown as road traffic control presents an ever-increasing problem. In a new paper, authors ...
