GLOBAL OPTIMIZATION OF NONLINEAR BLEND-SCHEDULING PROBLEMS

Global Optimization of Nonlinear Blend-Scheduling Problems

The scheduling of gasoline-blending operations is an important problem in the oil refining industry.This problem not only exhibits the combinatorial nature that is intrinsic to scheduling problems, but also non-convex nonlinear behavior, due to the blending of various materials with different quality properties.In this work, a global optimization a
