Mixed-model assembly line (MMAL) is a type of assembly line where several distinct models of a product are assembled. MMAL is applied in many industrial environments today because of its greater variety in demand. This paper considers the objective of minimizing the work overload (i.e., the line balancing problem) and station-to-station product flows. Generally, transportation time between stat...

Over the past few decades, neuroscience experiments have become increasingly complex and naturalistic. Experimental design has in turn more challenging, as must conform to an ever-increasing diversity of constraints. In this article, we demonstrate how process can be greatly assisted using optimization tool known mixed-integer linear programming (MILP). MILP provides a rich framework for incorp...

We study the performance of Empirical Revenue Maximizing (ERM) mechanism in a single-item, single-seller, single-buyer setting. assume buyer’s valuation is drawn from regular distribution F and that seller has access to two independently samples F. By solving family mixed-integer linear programs (MILPs), ERM proven guarantee at least .5914 times optimal revenue expectation. Using solutions thes...

We study the mixed-integer rounding (MIR) closures of polyhedral sets. The MIR closure of a polyhedral set is equal to its split closure and the associated separation problem is NP-hard. We describe a mixed-integer programming (MIP) model with linear constraints and a non-linear objective for separating an arbitrary point from the MIR closure of a given mixed-integer set. We linearize the objec...
