چکیده
Arising from research in the computer science community, constraint programming is a relatively new technique for solving optimization problems. For those familiar with mathematical programming, there are a number of language barriers that exist that make it difficult to understand the concepts of constraint programming. This paper, which assumes a minimal background in linear and integer programming, is a short tutorial on constraint programming, and explains how it relates to familiar mathematical programming concepts. We also indicate how constraint programming and mathematical programming technologies are complementary.

متن کاملA revisit of a mathematical model for solving fully fuzzy linear programming problem with trapezoidal fuzzy numbers
In this paper fully fuzzy linear programming (FFLP) problem with both equality and inequality constraints is considered where all the parameters and decision variables are represented by non-negative trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. According to the current approach, the FFLP problem with equality constraints first is converted into a multi–objective linear programming (MOLP) problem with crisp const...
متن کاملMathematical Programming Approach To Allocate Local Or National Resources For Bridge Maintenance Rehabilitation & Replacement Planning (RESEARCH NOTE)
Today’s, the transportation facilities such as terminals, street, bridge, etc, represent the major investment in highway network. Every year tremendous resources should be invested to maintain these facilities. Among them, the Bridge Management System (B.M.S.) has been necessitated by large imbalance between extensive bridge repair and maintenance needs and limited available budget. So the main...
