Cover illustration. On the left is the Sargent‐Gaminibandara superstructure for the synthesis of a thermally integrated columns for the separation of four components: A,B,C,D. Below is the general mathematical formulation of a nonlinear optimization problem (nonlinear programming) that was used to optimize such a superstructure. On the right is a diagram of the State‐Task‐Network by Kondili, Pantelides and Sargent for the scheduling of batch operations. Above are the differential‐algebraic equations for modeling the dynamics of one of the units. Below are mixed‐integer linear equations that are part of the optimization model for the scheduling problem. Credit for design of the cover: Andrew Grossmann. 10.1002/aic.15423
