Abstract

This paper attempts to unify a broad, though not exhaustive, arena of mathematical programming. The approach involves the development of a general mathematical problem formulation, which is shown to reduce, in a deductive manner, to each of the major subfields of mathematical programming. Furthermore, a taxonomy is provided for classifying each of the special cases. Lastly, the premier algorithms for solving each of the cases are indicated and referenced.
