Abstract: This paper works on a heuristic algorithm with determinacy for the global optimization of continuous piecewise linear (CPWL) programming. CPWL is widely applied since it can be equivalently ...

The death of mathematician George Dantzig is a scientific watershed. Dantzig developed "linear programming" and the simplex method, used to solve complex efficiency problems for large organizations.
