ABSTRACT
In Chapter 13, we addressed a number of linear programming (LP)-based practical problems. In this chapter, in addition to one or two LP models, we briefly present various integer and nonlinear practical problems. The problems to be discussed are a combat logistics problem, a lot-sizing problem, a joint lot-sizing and transportation decision problem, a coal bank scheduling problem, an engineering design problem, a gas-lift optimization problem, and a multiple shifts planning problem. We also discuss their associated mathematical models and related issues.
