Many linear programming problems have large embedded network structures. Such problems often result when modeling manufacturing processes, transportation or distribution networks, or resource ...

Two linear programming models are presented for determining the amount of wastewater treatment required to achieve at minimum cost any particular set of stream dissolved oxygen standards within a ...

The compressibility of natural gas allows the use of line pack to compensate for fluctuations of gas demand. On the basis of forecast consumption, a linear-programming model can yield a plan for ...

A natural optimization model that formulates many online resource allocation problems is the online linear programming (LP) problem in which the constraint matrix is revealed column by column along ...

An operations planning and economics improvement project at ConocoPhillips's Lake Charles, La., refinery successfully developed and implemented high-quality kinetic process models used for unit ...
