Abstract
The report concerns a study of computational devices for optimal blending schedules in oil refineries. The main result presented is an algorithm which guarantees to locate a globally optimal solution to a nonlinear blending problem. A general model is established resembling frequently studied network models, and summarizes its basic mathematical properties. The optimization methods are studied in the light of this model, and a tree search method is proposed converging to the desired solution. Computational properties are investigated through numerical experiments. 123 refs., 33 figs., 4 tabs.
