Integer programming, a cornerstone of combinatorial optimisation, focuses on the selection of discrete decision variables to solve complex real‐world problems such as scheduling, network design and ...

The transportation method of linear programming is extended to a more general class of problem, for which the "stepping-stone method" of Charnes and Cooper fails. The method is applicable to various ...

Description: Fundamental principles, concepts, and methods of programming (C and MATLAB), with emphasis on applications in the physical sciences and engineering. Basic problem solving and programming ...

Well-designed edge controllers remain highly compatible with existing PLC/PAC ecosystems. Embrace new strategies and tools to adapt and gain new capabilities. Edge computing, new communication methods ...

In our final installment of Tools of the Trade (with respect to circuit board assembly), we’ll look at how the circuit board is tested and programmed. At this point in the process, the board has been ...

In the first part of this paper, the concept of logical reduction is presented. Minimal preferred variable inequalities are introduced, and algorithms are given for their calculation. A simple ...

MIT’s Self-Assembly Lab is experimenting with ‘4D’ methods of ‘programming’ materials to self-construct. In this experiment, researchers outfit phone parts with magnets of varying polarity and put ...
