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

We develop an algorithm to solve the problem of the optimal dimensioning of a fluid (gas or
water) transmission network when the topology of the network is known. The pipe diameters …

With the surge of the global energy demand, natural gas plays an increasingly important role
in the global energy market. To meet the demand, optimization techniques have been widely …

A knowledge of the presence of certain special structures can be advantageous in both the
formulation and solution of linear programming problems. Thus it is desirable that linear …

In this paper, we address the problem of allocating a given budget to increase the capacities
of arcs in a transshipment network to minimize the cost of flow in the network. The capacity …

Procura-se resgatar a importância de uma subárea da Programação Matemática conhecida
como Programação Linear Por Partes-PLP. De fato a PLP tem inúmeras aplicações tanto na …

ABSTRACT Depuis 2019, les Pays-Bas ont décidé d'arrêter de fournir du gaz pauvre à la
Belgique car leurs ressources s' amenuisent et les espaces laissés après l'extraction du gaz …

Everyday, we are faced with a lot of uncertainties and discrete decisions. Stochastic mixed
integer programming is well suited to help us handle this situation. However, this type of …

Abstract The Dutch gas company “Gasunie” has as one of its main policies, always meeting
fluctuating demands, even in case of sudden changes of temperature. Gas originates …
