Constraint Models for the Covering Test Problem
Covering arrays can be applied to the testing of software, hardware and advanced materials, and to the effects of hormone interaction on gene expression. In this paper we develop c...

Solving Large-Scale Nonlinear Programming Problems by Constraint Partitioning
Abstract. In this paper, we present a constraint-partitioning approach for finding local optimal solutions of large-scale mixed-integer nonlinear programming problems (MINLPs). Ba...
