Constraint programming combined with machine learning provides a robust framework for addressing complex combinatorial problems across diverse domains such as energy management, production scheduling ...

Mathematical programming with vanishing constraints (MPVC) represents a challenging class of optimisation problems where certain constraints become inactive—or “vanish”—depending on specific ...

Constraint Programming (CP) has been successful in a number of combinatorial search and discrete optimisation problems. Yet other more traditional approaches, such as Integer Programming (IP), can ...

In this paper we consider the bilevel programming problem (BLPP), which is a sequence of two optimization problems where the constraint region of the upper-level problem is determined implicitly by ...
