Editing Mathematical optimization (section)

===Civil engineering===
Optimization has been widely used in civil engineering. [[Construction management]] and [[transportation engineering]] are among the main branches of civil engineering that heavily rely on optimization. The most common civil engineering problems that are solved by optimization are cut and fill of roads, life-cycle analysis of structures and infrastructures,<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Piryonesi |first1=Sayed Madeh |last2=Tavakolan |first2=Mehdi |title=A mathematical programming model for solving cost-safety optimization (CSO) problems in the maintenance of structures |journal=KSCE Journal of Civil Engineering |date=9 January 2017 |volume=21 |issue=6 |pages=2226–2234 |doi=10.1007/s12205-017-0531-z|bibcode=2017KSJCE..21.2226P |s2cid=113616284 |doi-access=free }}</ref> [[resource leveling]],<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Hegazy |first1=Tarek |title=Optimization of Resource Allocation and Leveling Using Genetic Algorithms |journal=Journal of Construction Engineering and Management |date=June 1999 |volume=125 |issue=3 |pages=167–175 |doi=10.1061/(ASCE)0733-9364(1999)125:3(167) |doi-access=}}</ref><ref name=":0">{{Cite journal|title=Piryonesi, S.
