Hi I would like to know which algorithm is best suited to solve this Cost Minimisation problem:

Total Cost =

                      FC1           if  0 < W < 30                       FC2           if  30 < W < 150                       FC3           if  W > 150               +             W* ECL                     if q(e,b,W) ≤ BOD                           W* ECH                     if q(e,b,W) > BOD              + Price*Labor + Price*Capital + Price*Water + Price*Abatement 

FC1, FC2, FC3 are constants while BOD is pollution standard, ECL and ECH are also constants

q is like the pollution concentration like BOD/liters of wastewater, I defined it as a function of e (emission), b (the firm's pollution abatement efforts) and W (water).

    @Thomas: I think there may be 6 problems, given the different values of `ECL` and `ECH`.2011-08-24
