In this study we apply the African buffalo optimization (ABO) to solve benchmark global optimization problems. Such problems which are artificial representation of different search landscapes ranging ...

Description: Basics of numerical optimization: problem formulation, conditions of optimality, search direction and step length. Calculus-based techniques for univariate and multivariate optimization.

Studies linear and nonlinear programming, the simplex method, duality, sensitivity, transportation and network flow problems, some constrained and unconstrained optimization theory, and the ...

A major assumption in the analysis of (s, S) inventory systems with stochastic lead times is that orders are received in the same sequence as they are placed. Even under this assumption, much of the ...
