This paper proposes a way to combine the Mesh Adaptive Direct Search (MADS) algorithm, which extends the Generalized Pattern Search (GPS) algorithm, with th...

We present an exact algorithm and three applications of nonconvex quadratically constrained quadratic programming. First, we consider the pooling problem fro...

The pooling problem, which is fundamental to the petroleum industry, describes a situation where products possessing different attribute qualities are mixed...
