Discrete optimization with logical constraints for design of complex products

Consideration was given to the optimization problem arising at designing complex products. It was assumed that the products are formed of the components with allowance for certain conditions and criteria. To solve the problem, an approach relying on discrete optimization with logical constraints was developed. An algorithm to determine the precise solution on the basis of enumeration of L–classes was developed, and a computer–aided experiment carried out. The algorithm was incorporated in the software of the computer–aided clothing design system.
