Abstract: In this paper, we define a new subclass of integer linear programming problems called the composition problem. We shall propose efficient algorithms for solving this problem and its variants ...

Integer linear programming can help find the answer to a variety of real-world problems. Now researchers have found a much faster way to do it. The traveling salesperson problem is one of the oldest ...

Abstract: The Distribution Network Reconfiguration (DNR) problem is a well-known problem in the field of power system optimization. It consists of altering the state of the switches in Distribution ...
