Large scale dispatching problems are technically characterized as classical NP-hard problems which means that they cannot be solved optimally with existing methods in a polynomial time. Benders decomposition is recommended for solving large scale Mixed Integer Programming (MIP). In this paper we use the Bender Decomposition technique for reformulating the Ready Mixed Concrete Dispatching Proble...

Abstract The most important ingredient for solving mixed-integer nonlinear programs (MINLPs) to global $$\epsilon $$ ϵ -optimality with spatial branch and bound is a tight, computationally tractable relaxation. Due both theoretical practical considerations, relaxations of MINLPs are usually required be convex...
