“Always code as if the guy who ends up maintaining your code will be a violent psychopath who knows where you live.” -John Woods Way back in the 1970s, working as a computer programmer was quite ...

The construction of optimal or nearly optimal block designs, using the A-optimality criterion, is formulated as a non-linear 0-1 programme. An approach which ignores the 0-1 constraint is suggested ...

The optimisation of gas networks has emerged as a critical field in energy systems engineering, incorporating advanced nonlinear programming techniques to address the increasing complexity of gas ...
