Recently, the area of Mixed Integer Nonlinear Programming (MINLP) has experienced tremendous growth and a flourish of research activity. In this article we will give a brief overview of past developments in the MINLP arena and discuss some of the future work that can foster the development of MINLP in general and, in particular, robust solver technology for the practical solution of problems.

This paper describes an algorithm for cardinality-constrained quadratic optimization problems, which are convex quadratic programming problems with a limit on the number of non-zeros in the optimal solution. In particular, we consider problems of subset selection in regression and portfolio selection in asset management and propose branch-and-bound based algorithms that take advantage of the sp...

this paper proposes a new mathematical model for the integrated procurement-production-distribution problem of a fuzzy mixed integer linear programming (fmilp) type. considering the uncertainty in real problems, a number of parameters such as demand, capacity, and cost where their values are not available or known precisely, have been considered as trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. to solve fuzzy mixe...
