چکیده

In this contribution we apply different approaches to solve four rather different MINLP problems: special extensions to time-indexed formulations of production planning problems, a production planning problem in BASF’s petrochemical division, a site analysis of one of BASF’s bigger sites, and a process design problem. The first problem is related to a useful nonlinear extension of production planning problems based on time-indexed formulations. The second problem1 leads to a mixed-integer nonlinear model for describing a petrochemical network including several steam crackers and plants located at two different sites. The third problem, a network design problem, leads to mixed integer nonlinear programming problem dominated by pooling problems (KW97, Section 11.1.2) as is true for the second problem. The pooling problem refers to the intrinsic nonlinear problem of forc-

A mixed integer nonlinear programming model for optimizing a gas pipeline transmission linear network

The technical equipment developed and used in both installation and operation processes in refineries, oil and gas pipelines, and gas booster stations has always been expensive. Hence, managers at different organizational levels are keen to find methods to control and reduce these costs. Generally speaking, the operators in a gas booster station choose the operating devices without considering ...

Global optimization of mixed-integer polynomial programming problems: A new method based on Grobner Bases theory

Mixed-integer polynomial programming (MIPP) problems are one class of mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) problems where objective function and constraints are restricted to the polynomial functions. Although the MINLP problem is NP-hard, in special cases such as MIPP problems, an efficient algorithm can be extended to solve it. In this research, we propose an algorit...

A mixed integer bi-level DEA model for bank branch performance evaluation by Stackelberg approach

One of the most complicated decision making problems for managers is the evaluation of bank performance, which involves various criteria. There are many studies about bank efficiency evaluation by network DEA in the literature review. These studies do not focus on multi-level network. Wu (Eur J Oper Res 207:856–864, 2010) proposed a bi-level structure for cost efficiency at the first time. In t...

Overview on Mixed Integer Nonlinear Programming Problems

Many optimization problems involve integer and continuous variables that can be modeled as mixed integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) problems. This has led to a wide range of applications, in particular in some engineering areas. Here, we provide a brief overview on MINLP, and present a simple idea for a future nonconvex MINLP solution technique.

A Mixed Integer Programming Formulation for the Heterogeneous Fixed Fleet Open Vehicle Routing Problem

The heterogeneous fixed fleet open vehicle routing problem (HFFOVRP) is one of the most significant extension problems of the open vehicle routing problem (OVRP). The HFFOVRP is the problem of designing collection routes to a number of predefined nodes by a fixed fleet number of vehicles with various capacities and related costs. In this problem, the vehicle doesn’t return to the depot after se...
