In regression problems alternative criteria of "best fit" to least squares are least absolute deviations and least maximum deviations. In this paper it is noted that linear programming techniques may ...

Formulate linear and integer programming problems for solving commonly encountered optimization problems. Understand how approximation algorithms compute solutions that are guaranteed to be within ...

This paper describes the development of a mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) model for the standard N-job, M-machine flowshop sequencing problem. Based on an earlier all-integer model developed ...
