The rendezvous and docking mission is usually divided into several phases, and the mission planning is performed phase by phase. A new planning method using mixed integer nonlinear programming, which investigates single phase parameters and phase connecting parameters simultaneously, is proposed to improve the rendezvous mission's overall performance. The design variables are composed of integers and continuous-valued numbers. The integer part consists of the parameters for station-keeping and sensor-switching, the number of maneuvers in each rendezvous phase and the number of repeating periods to start the rendezvous mission. The continuous part consists of the orbital transfer time and the station-keeping duration. The objective function is a combination of the propellant consumed, the sun angle which represents the power available, and the terminal precision of each rendezvous phase. The operational requirements for the spacecraft-ground communication, sun illumination and the sensor transition are considered. The simple genetic algorithm, which is a combination of the integer-coded and real-coded genetic algorithm, is chosen to obtain the optimal solution. A practical rendezvous mission planning problem is solved by the proposed method. The results show that the method proposed can solve the integral rendezvous mission planning problem effectively, and the solution obtained can satisfy the operational constraints and has a good overall performance.

An optimization approach based on force density method and mixed integer nonlinear programming is proposed for optimization of tensegrity structures on member connectivities and nodal positions. The member connectivities, nodal coordinates and force densities are simultaneously used as design variables and the number of nodes is the only necessary parameter needed to be given in advance, The proposed approach possesses a general-purpose formulation which can be degenerated into both conversional form-finding formulation and previous member connectivities-finding formulation. Various properties such as the number of cables, nodal coordinates and evenness of member internal forces can be controlled and optimized by introducing appropriate constraints and objective functions. Numerical examples are carried out to verify the proposed approach and illustrate that not only classical tensegrity systems but also novel tensegrity systems can be obtained by the proposed approach.

In this paper, mixed integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) is optimized by PSO_GA-SQP, the mixed coding of a particle swarm optimization (PSO), and a hybrid genetic algorithm and sequential quadratic programming (GA-SQP). The population is separated into two groups: discrete and continuous variables. The discrete variables are optimized by the adapted PSO, while the continuous variables are optimized by the GA-SQP using the discrete variable information from the adapted PSO. Therefore, the population can be set to a smaller size than usual to obtain a global solution. The proposed PSO_GA-SQP algorithm is verified using various MINLP problems including the designing of retrofit heat exchanger networks. The fitness values of the tested problems are able to reach the global optimum.

A new hybrid algorithm is being introduced for solving mixed integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) problems which arise from study of many real-life engineering problems such as the minimum cost development of oil fields and the optimization of a multiproduct batch plant. This new algorithm employs both the Genetic Algorithm and a modified grid search method interfacing in such a way that the resulting hybrid algorithm is capable of solving many MINLP problems efficiently and accurately. Testings indicate that this algorithm is efficient and robust even for some ill-conditioned problems with nonconvex constraints.

We analyze a network design problem for a closed-loop supply chain that integrates the collection of the used products with the distribution of the new products. We present a mixedintegernonlinear facility location-inventory-pricing model to decide on the optimal locations of the facilities, inventory amounts, prices for new products and incentive values for the collection of right amount of used products in order to maximize the total supply chain profit. We develop heuristics for the solution of this model and analyze the effectiveness of these heuristics and the effects of the parameters on this system through numerical experiments.

In this paper, we present a new hybrid algorithm for convex mixed integer nonlinear programming (MINLP). The proposed hybrid algorithm is an improved version of the classical nonlinear branch-and-bound (BB) procedure, where the enhancements are obtained with the application of the outer approximation algorithm on some nodes of the enumeration tree. The two methods are combined in such a way that each one collaborates to the convergence of the other. Computational experiments with benchmark instances of the MINLP problem show the good performance of the proposed algorithm, which is compared to the outer approximation algorithm, the nonlinear BB algorithm and the hybrid algorithm implemented in the solver Bonmin.

We present two new algorithms for convex mixed integer nonlinear programming (MINLP), both based on the well known Extended Cutting Plane (ECP) algorithm proposed by Weterlund and Petersson. Our first algorithm, Refined Extended Cutting Plane (RECP), incorporates additional cuts to the MILP relaxation of the original problem, obtained by solving linear relaxations of NLP problems considered in the Outer Approximation algorithm. Our second algorithm, Linear programming based Branch-and-Bound (LP-BB), applies the strategy of generating cuts that is used in RECP, to the linear approximation scheme used by the LP/NLP based Branch-and-Bound algorithm. Our computational results show that RECP and LP-BB are highly competitive with the most popular MINLP algorithms from the literature, while keeping the nice and desirable characteristic of ECP, of being a first-order method.

A local trajectory-based method for solving mixed integer nonlinear programming problems is proposed. The method is based on the trajectory-based method for continuous optimization problems. The method has three phases, each of which performs continuous minimizations via the solution of systems of differential equations. A number of novel contributions, such as an adaptive step size strategy for numerical integration and a strategy for updating the penalty parameter, are introduced. We have shown that the optimal value obtained by the proposed method is at least as good as the minimizer predicted by a recent definition of a mixedinteger local minimizer. Computational results are presented, showing the effectiveness of the method.

Optimal exact designs are problematic to find and study because there is no unified theory for determining them and studying their properties. Each has its own challenges and when a method exists to confirm the design optimality, it is invariably applicable to the particular problem only. We propose a systematic approach to construct optimal exact designs by incorporating the Cholesky decomposition of the Fisher Information Matrix in a mixed integer nonlinear programming formulation. As examples, we apply the methodology to find D- and A-optimal exact designs for linear and nonlinear models using global or local optimizers. Our examples include design problems with constraints on the locations or the number of replicates at the optimal design points.

In this paper, a nonlinear model to maximize biomass production with specific nutritional quality is proposed. The model decides about kind of grasses and legumes to cultivate, quantities of each grasses and legumes chosen, the use of resources, and the proper time of harvest at which the biomass with specific nutritional quality is maximized. Model works with sufficient information about biomass yield, nutrient content, water requirements and fertilizer requirements of several crops, and it can explore all possible harvest times and choose the right time in which biomass production is maximized with desired nutritional quality. Furthermore, the solution gives to the producers additional information on weekly irrigation plan and weekly fertilizers plan for m(2) of cultivated grass. The model was tested on six scenarios using GAMS and obtained solutions are the global solution in each scenario.
