Optimization

We present a set of functions based on interval arithmetic to solve small size global optimization problems with guaranteed bounds on solutions. Interval analysis can be used to bound ALL solutions of nonlinear optimization problem, equality constrained or not as well to bound ALL solutions of a...

This folder contains a word document (optimization_problem_wth_solution.doc) that contains a description for an optimization problem along with its solution. The folder contains two m-script file that contain the solution for the Gradient_Descent_minimum and Gradient_Descent_maximum problems...

Dynamic job shop scheduling problem is one form of a job shop scheduling problem with varying arrival time job or not concurrent. This problem can be represented in graph form, which is to seek the shortest path from start point to destination point. One solution that can be used is with the ant...
