SAS/OR software may be of interest to users of SAS/STAT software for its mathematical programming features. In particular, the NLP procedure in SAS/OR software solves nonlinear programming problems, ...

We present a method for approximating the solution of mixed integer nonconcave programming problems in bounded variables. We present computational results for 39 test problems which suggest that the ...

This paper defines a set of five production planning problems that must be solved for efficient use of an FMS, and addresses specifically the grouping and loading problems. These two problems are ...
