The control vector parameterization (CVP) approach is popular to solve nonlinear dynamic optimization problems, but handling inequality path constraints within its framework is a challenge. This study ...

A line of engineering research seeks to develop computers that can tackle a class of challenges called combinatorial optimization problems. These are common in real-world applications such as ...

In this paper, we study a facility cost optimization problem in a competitive market. Our objective is to distribute an available budget to some newly opened facilities to maximize an expected ...
