Computer programs to solve linear programming problems by the simplex method have existed since the early 1950s. They remain the central feature of today's mathematical programming systems. There has ...

This paper investigates the solution by integer programming of reliability optimization problems which are subject to linear and nonlinear separable restraints. In particular, the following problems ...

Over the past decades, the mathematical formulation of physical theories has evolved to provide a unified framework that bridges classical mechanics, quantum mechanics and quantum information theory.
