Abstract

Purpose ‐ The purpose of this paper is to describe some applications of a universal method to industrial problems. Design/methodology/approach ‐ This method, called Alienor, is based on a-dense curves, allowing to fill a space Rn and to express n variables by means of a single variable. Findings ‐ Using this method, any industrial problem leading to a cost function (linear or not) becomes easily and quickly resolved, even when integer or mixed variables are to be considered. Originality/value ‐ The paper is of value in showing how a-dense curves allow the solving of most problems of operational research by using classical softwares.
