Solving difficult mixed integer and disjunctive non-linear problems on single and parallel processors

- Difficult NLP-, MINLP- and GDP-problems are solved scalability is achieved by maximizing the intelligence of the processors and minimizing the communication between processors.
- Parallel processing where Gray coding is applied, improves the performance of the algorithm in large-scale problems.
- Large-scale NLP-problems are solved using interior point methodology employing a new exponential barrier function.
- A large-scale disjunctive programming problem is solved on a huge mesh.
