| Abstract | Real world problems are complex. It is not always feasible to model a problem including all the aspects of reality. In most cases, we deal with a simplified version of the problem that contains only some aspects of reality. Thus a problem can be modelled in a number of different ways depending on the portion of reality to be included or excluded. In this paper, we address the alternative mathematical programming formulation approaches for a real world coal-blending problem under different scenarios. The complexity of formulation and solution approaches, quality of solutions, and solution implementation difficulties for these models are compared and analysed. Choice of the most appropriate model is suggested. |
