'Efrén Mezura-Montes' 'Eduardo Vega-Alvarado' 'María Bárbara Calva-Yañez' 'Thomas Stützle'] Mixed integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) addresses optimization problems that involve continuous and discrete/integer decision variables, as well as nonlinear functions. These problems often exhibit multiple discontinuous…

'H. Cenk Ozmutlu'] In this paper, we analyze a real-world OVRP problem for a production company. Considering real-world constrains, we classify our problem as multicapacitated/heterogeneous fleet/open vehicle routing problem with split deliveries and multiproduct (MCHF/OVRP/SDMP) which is a novel classification of an…

The size of the largest binary single deletion code has been unknown for more than 50 years. It is known that Varshamov-Tenengolts (VT) code is an optimum single deletion code for block length $n\leq10$; however, only a few upper bounds of the size of single deletion code are proposed for larger n. We provide improved…

Automated chemistry platforms hold the potential to enable large-scale organic synthesis campaigns, such as producing a library of compounds for biological evaluation. The efficiency of such platforms will depend on the schedule according to which the synthesis operations are executed. In this work, we study the…

Experimental design plays an important role in efficiently acquiring informative data for system characterization and deriving robust conclusions under resource limitations. Recent advancements in high-throughput experimentation coupled with machine learning have notably improved experimental procedures. While Bayesian…

We study a class of integer bilevel programs with second-order cone constraints at the upper-level and a convex-quadratic objective function and linear constraints at the lower-level. We develop disjunctive cuts (DCs) to separate bilevel-infeasible solutions using a second-order-cone-based cut-generating procedure. We…

Mixed integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) in chemical engineering originated as a tool for solving optimal process synthesis and design problems. Since then, the application of MINLP has expanded to encompass control and operational decisions that are in line with the arising challenges faced by the industry, e.g.…

This paper proposes an optimization algorithm, the dimension-down iterative algorithm (DDIA), for solving a mixed transportation network design problem (MNDP), which is generally expressed as a mathematical programming with equilibrium constraint (MPEC). The upper level of the MNDP aims to optimize the network…

'Marek Szopa'] A problem that appears in many decision models is that of the simultaneous occurrence of deterministic, stochastic, and fuzzy values in the set of multidimensional evaluations. Such problems will be called mixed problems. They lead to the formulation of optimization problems in ordered structures and…

Solving optimization problems, especially for nonlinear and constrained systems, is a challenge. Decades of specialized algorithms have been developed for general and special cases of root finding, minimization (including constraints), for parameter estimation, and mapping connected spaces. These approaches typically…

We present a vector-based method to balance chemical reactions. The algorithm builds candidates in a deterministic way, removes duplicates, and always prints coefficients in the lowest whole-number form. For redox cases, electrons and protons/hydroxide are treated explicitly, so both mass and charge are balanced. We…

Experiment planning algorithms are a required component of autonomous platforms for scientific discovery. Selecting a suitable optimization algorithm for a novel application is an important yet difficult choice a researcher has to make based on past empirical performance on similar tasks. To facilitate the evaluation…

A mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) formulation for symbolic regression was proposed to identify physical models from noisy experimental data. The formulation was tested using numerical models and was found to be more efficient than the previous literature example with respect to the number of predictor…
