Combinatorial optimization and integer programming form the backbone of decision-making models in which discrete choices must be made under constraints. At its core, integer programming specialises in ...

Global optimization of nonlinear mixed-integer programming (MINLP) addresses decision problems in which some variables are constrained to take integer values, while the objective function or ...

In “The Mixed Marriage Project,” Dorothy Roberts reflects on her anthropologist father’s lifelong project: to document — and promote — interracial marriages like his own. By Julia Scheeres Julia ...

ABSTRACT: This article examines some of the properties of quasi-Fejer sequences when used in quasi-gradiental techniques as an alternative to stochastic search techniques for optimizing unconstrained ...

(RTTNews) - Integer Holdings Corporation (ITGR) dropped 33.64% to trade at $72.40, down $36.71, after reporting the third quarter 2025 results showing revenue of $467.7 million, a +8% YoY, and ...

Abstract: Energy optimization is a critical challenge in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) due to its direct impact on the network lifetime. This paper proposes the use of the K-means algorithm combined ...

Working with numbers stored as strings is a common task in Python programming. Whether you’re parsing user input, reading data from a file, or working with APIs, you’ll often need to transform numeric ...

The objective of the 3D-SCALO problem is to assign the given components to optimal mounting surfaces and position them at the best locations, while satisfying the requirements for (1) heat dissipation ...
