This paper provides a review on the most relevant research works conducted to solve
natural gas transportation problems via pipeline systems. The literature reveals three major …

This manuscript reviews recent advances in deterministic global optimization for Mixed-
Integer Nonlinear Programming (MINLP), as well as Constrained Derivative-Free …

Structure of this book and how to read it This book is divided into three parts: Part I
Fundamentals, Part II Validation of nominations, Part III Verification of booked capacities …

Expansion of natural gas networks is a critical process involving substantial capital
expenditures with complex decision-support requirements. Given the nonconvex nature of …

The development of mathematical simulation and optimization models and algorithms for
solving gas transport problems is an active field of research. In order to test and compare …

This paper explores the potential of Lagrangian duality for learning applications that feature
complex constraints. Such constraints arise in many science and engineering domains …

Blending hydrogen into the existing natural gas pipeline network is regarded as the most
potential transportation mode on the utility-scale. However, the impact of hydrogen on the …

Economic reasons and the regulation of gas markets create a growing need for
mathematical optimization of natural gas networks. Real life planning tasks often lead to …

In the literature for mixed integer programming, heuristic algorithms (particularly primal
heuristics) are often considered as stand-alone procedures; in that context, heuristics are …

We consider optimal control problems for the flow of gas or fresh water in pipe networks as
well as drainage or sewer systems in open canals. The equations of motion are taken to be …
