Constraint Programming (CP) has been successful in a number of combinatorial search and discrete optimisation problems. Yet other more traditional approaches, such as Integer Programming (IP), can ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Model equivalences may sometimes be used to replace 'realistic' but unwieldy initial formulations with simpler counterparts. This can involve ...

Mathematical programming with vanishing constraints (MPVC) represents a challenging class of optimisation problems where certain constraints become inactive—or “vanish”—depending on specific ...
