Numerical Experiments with Nonconvex MINLP Problems [PDF]
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2010 We present a methodology to solve nonconvex Mixed‐Integer Nonlinear Programming problems, that combines the Branch‐and‐Bound and simulated annealing type methods, which was implemented in MATLAB. A set of benchmark functions with simple bounds and different dimensions was used to analyze its practical behaviour. We exhibit computational results showing

AIChE Journal, Volume 72, Issue 4, April 2026.ABSTRACT Flexibility is a crucial characteristic of industrial systems that face increasing volatilities and is therefore essential to ensure feasible operation under uncertainty. Flexibility is often closely tied to the design of a system, and careful consideration must be taken to understand the trade‐off between design cost and operational ...

A Heavy‐Duty Vehicle Routing Problem With Temperature Constraints
Networks, Volume 87, Issue 2, Page 131-150, March 2026.ABSTRACT This article studies a vehicle routing problem involving a fleet of heavy‐duty vehicles and pickup‐and‐delivery requests for crude items that are both heavy and high‐temperature. The objective is to route the fleet in such a way that maximizes resource efficiency and operational efficiency while simultaneously avoiding thermal overload of any ...

International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, Volume 127, Issue 4, 28 February 2026.ABSTRACT We investigate an optimization problem that arises when working within the paradigm of Data‐Driven Computational Mechanics. In the context of the diffusion‐reaction problem, such an optimization problem seeks the continuous primal fields (gradient and flux) that are closest to some predefined discrete fields taken from a material data set. The

Framework for Task Offloading in O‐RAN Architecture for Heterogeneous Computing Applications
Transactions on Emerging Telecommunications Technologies, Volume 37, Issue 2, February 2026.This work proposes a task offloading framework in ORAN architecture, optimizing computational assignment across user devices, edge cloud, and regional cloud. By efficiently selecting processing nodes and allocating computational and radio resources, it minimizes delay while accommodating diverse latency requirements for gold, silver, and bronze‐tier ...

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 2, February 2026.Abstract This work considers the design‐for‐control of water distribution networks (WDN) for the joint optimization of performance and cost‐related objectives. In particular, we focus on the problem of optimizing the placement (design) and settings (control) of pressure reducing valves to minimize leakage at minimum cost.

Optimal Control Applications and Methods, Volume 47, Issue 1, Page 4-23, January/February 2026.ABSTRACT High‐level decision‐making for dynamical systems often involves performance and safety specifications that are activated or deactivated depending on conditions related to the system state and commands. Such decision‐making problems can be naturally formulated as optimization problems where these conditional activations are regulated by ...
