Extracting Alternative Solutions from Benders Decomposition
We show how to extract alternative solutions for optimization problems solved by Benders Decom- position. In practice, alternative solutions provide useful insights for complex applications; some solvers do support generation of alternative solutions but none appear to support such generation when using Benders Decomposition. We propose a new post-processing method that extracts multiple optimal and near-optimal solutions using the cut-pool generated during Benders Decomposition. Further, we pr…

For a long time, it was thought that smart charging required the charging point to be made ‘smart’. However, the significant growth of smart charging – including in Europe – lies in car connectivity. This creates the best and most logical user experience and makes a fleet of EVs grid-responsive.

This venomous fish is invading the Mediterranean.
One solution? Eat them.

While the Mediterranean,
like any sea,
teems with non-native species,
the ⭐️lionfish is almost singularly damaging,
and it has the potential to upend a vast marine environment that has sustained civilizations for millennia.
It devours shrimp, crabs and smaller fish,
its stomach swelling 30-fold during a feeding frenzy.
It is also a hardened survivor, capable of g…

This venomous fish is invading the Mediterranean. One solution? Eat them.
Lionfish have no natural predators and reproduce on a massive scale. Can the Mediterranean diet adapt to help limit their spread?
