Traditionally, product deletion is a reactive decision driven by low sales volume and profit margin. However, the complexities involved in product management and consumer behavior volatilities make it necessary to account for a broad range of financial and non-financial factors. Besides,...

The cumulative scheduling problem has been traditionally represented using a discrete time formulation, incorporating the variable resource consumption of each job as decision variables. In our research, we aim to provide a more accessible approach to formulating a specific configuration of this...

Although the practicability of using wavelet neural networks (WNNs) in nonlinear function approximation has been addressed extensively, selecting the optimal number of hidden nodes and their appropriate initial locations remains a great challenge for WNNs' initialization. The cuckoo search...
