Modeling hospital infrastructure by optimizing quality, accessibility and efficiency via a mixed integer programming model
BACKGROUND The majority of curative health care is organized in hospitals. As in most other countries, the current 94 hospital locations in the Netherlands offer almost all treatments, ranging from rather basic to very complex care. Recent studies show that concentration of care can lead to substantial quality improvements for complex conditions and that dispersion of care for chronic condition...
متن کاملA mixed integer nonlinear programming model for optimizing a gas pipeline transmission linear network
The technical equipment developed and used in both installation and operation processes in refineries, oil and gas pipelines, and gas booster stations has always been expensive. Hence, managers at different organizational levels are keen to find methods to control and reduce these costs. Generally speaking, the operators in a gas booster station choose the operating devices without considering ...
متن کاملOptimizing Ψ-learning via Mixed Integer Programming
As a new margin-based classifier, ψ-learning shows great potential for high accuracy. However, the optimization of ψ-learning involves non-convex minimization and is very challenging to implement. In this article, we convert the optimization of ψ-learning into a mixed integer programming (MIP) problem. This enables us to utilize the state-of-art algorithm of MIP to solve ψ-learning. Moreover, t...
متن کاملAnswer Set Programming via Mixed Integer Programming
Answer set programming is a programming paradigm where a given problem is formalized as a logic program whose answer sets correspond to the solutions to the problem. In this paper, we link answer set programming with another widely applied paradigm, viz. mixed integer programming. As a theoretical result, we establish translations from non-disjunctive logic programs to linear constraints used i...
متن کاملA multi objective mixed integer programming model for design of a sustainable meat supply chain network
In the recent decades, rapid population growth has led to the significant increase in food demand. Food supply chain has always been one of the most important and challenging management issues. Product with short age, especially foodstuffs, is the most problematic challenges for supply chain management. These challenges are mainly due to the diversity in the number of these goods, the special n...
