Interior methods are an omnipresent, conspicuous feature of the constrained optimization landscape today, but it was not always so. Primarily in the form of barrier methods, interior-point techniques ...

This result is obtained by first showing that the same result holds for inequality constrained nonlinear least-squares. As a consequence, the presence of (possibly nonconvex) equality/inequality ...

The researchers also considered an extension of the STSP that includes time windows for simultaneous pickups and deliveries, creating a more realistic and challenging problem. The core method involves ...
