Surveys the syntax and use of the various SAS/OR procedures that assist in building and solving mathematical optimization models, including linear, mixed-integer, quadratic, general nonlinear, and network flow optimization. The legacy procedures LP, NETFLOW, NLP, and INTPOINT are documented along with the newer procedures OPTMODEL, OPTLP, OPTMILP, and OPTQP and a new suite of optimization solvers used by the procedures that carry the "OPT" prefix. This title is suitable for both new and experienced users of SAS/OR optimization, but some previous exposure to optimization topics is recommended.

Optimization is the science of making a best choice in the face of conflicting requirements. Any convex optimization problem has geometric interpretation. If a given optimization problem can be transformed to a convex equivalent, then this interpretive benefit is acquired. That is a powerful attraction: the ability to visualize geometry of an optimization problem. Conversely, recent advances in geometry hold convex optimization within their proofs' core. This book is about convex optimization, convex geometry (with particular attention to distance geometry), geometrical problems, and problems

This title describes techniques newly available in SAS to find global optima using intelligent search techniques that are modeled after biological or physical processes. These techniques are flexible and robust, and are applicable to problems where traditional calculus-based methods do not apply or are too difficult or complicated. With these procedures, you can solve combinatorial problems, nonlinear function optimization problems, mixed integer problems, sequencing problems, and multiple objective Pareto optimization problems. This title serves as the primary documentation for the new 9.1 Ge

Learn how to manage product inventory levels more effectively by using SAS Inventory Optimization. This title serves as the primary documentation for the IRP and MIRP procedures. Focusing on both single-location and multi-echelon inventory systems, SAS Inventory Optimization software gives you the ability to calculate inventory replenishment policies, project inventory levels, and estimate customer service metrics. Replenishment policy calculations account for variation in customer demand and replenishment order lead times. Ordering cost, inventory holding cost, backorder penalty cost, and tar

The primary objective underlying the Handbook on Modelling for Discrete Optimization is to demonstrate and detail the pervasive nature of Discrete Optimization. While its applications cut across an incredibly wide range of activities, many of the applications are only known to specialists. It is the aim of this handbook to correct this.It has long been recognized that "modelling" is a critically important mathematical activity in designing algorithms for solving these discrete optimization problems. Nevertheless solving the resultant models is also often far from straightforward. In recent yea

Applications of optimization with Xpress-MP Overview Optimization using Mathematical Programming makes it possible to solve many economic, commercial and industrial problems. The development of powerful and easy to use software means that this tool is now available to a large audience. This book concentrates on the modeling process, which is then applied to solve 60 real problems grouped by subject into ten chapters. Besides classical industrial problems, such as transport and scheduling, there are less well known and more recent application areas such as telecommunications, personnel manage
