Application-oriented Mixed Integer Non-Linear Programming
… recent years there is a renovate interest for Mixed Integer Non-Linear Programming (MINLP) problems. This can be explained for different reasons: (i) the performance of solvers handling non-linear constraints was largely improved; (ii) the awareness that most of the applications from the …

Interval based MINLP superstructure synthesis of heat and mass exchange networks
… The resulting superstructure is optimised as a mixed integer non linear programming (MINLP) model. The superstructure is hot/rich streams based if hot/rich streams are used to define the intervals otherwise it is cold/lean stream based.

Development of Aerial-Ground Sensing Network: Architecture, Sensor Activation, and Spatial Path-Energy Optimization
… when collecting ground-sensor data. An improved mixed-integer non-linear programming approach is proposed for solving the optimal spatial path-energy using the framework of the traveling-salesman problem with neighborhoods.

Design and Implementation of An Emulation Testbed for Optimal Spectrum Sharing in Multi-hop Cognitive Radio Networks
… Since such problem formulation falls into mixed integer non-linear programming (MINLP), which is NP-hard in general, we develop a lower bound for the objective by relaxing the integer variables and linearization. Subsequently, we develop a nearoptimal algorithm to this MINLP problem. This …

Material transport system design in manufacturing
… where the three major decisions are handled by a mixed integer non-linear programming (MINLP) formulation. Relaxation techniques are applied to linearize the model. The solution of the resulting linear formulation (MILP) provides a lower bound to that of MINLP. A tightened formulation reduces the …

Machine learning approach to slice admission control in 5G wireless network
… framework that elucidates the inherent non-linearity of its formulation. The resulting formulation is presented as a mixed-integer non-linear programming (MINLP) problem and is proven to be NP-hard. In this context, the study conducts a comprehensive analytical comparison of various …

Planning and Optimization of Charging Strategies for Electric Vehicles: From Infrastructure to Behavioral
… nature of charging demand across the network, a Mixed-Integer Non-Linear Programming (MINLP) model is developed to determine the optimal siting and allocation of slow and fast chargers. The framework explicitly incorporates queueing delays through an M/M/s system, treating the number of chargers …

Synthesis of integrated solar thermal networks for domestic and industrial utilization
… involves the development of generic multi-period Mixed Integer Non-Linear Programming (MINLP) based design and optimization methods for integrating solar thermal with domestic and industrial heat networks over multiple time frames based on discrete time intervals/periods. The study also presents a …

Optimal pathway towards building EPC rating improvements align with building energy performance certificate programme
This dissertation investigates an optimal pathway for commercial buildings to improve their Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) ratings by efficiently adopting Energy Efficiency Measures (EEMs). With buildings contributing approximately 40\% of global energy consumption and 36\% of carbon dioxide …

Efficient radio resource management in integrated terrestrial and non-terrestrial networks
… to integrate terrestrial networks (TNs) with non-terrestrial networks (NTNs), such as satellite communications, high-altitude platforms and low-altitude platforms. NTNs are characterised by wide coverage and less vulnerability to physical attacks and natural disasters, and hence, will …
