Sistematização de terras para irrigação em áreas irregulares utilizando modelos de programação não-linear.

Abstract

This research had as objective to develop non-lineal programming models for land grading, applicable for areas with irregular format and that minimize the land movement. Software GAMS was used for the calculation. These models were compared to the Method of the Generalized Minimum Squares, developed by Scaloppi & Willardson (1986), having as evaluation parameter the moved land volume. The conclusions is that the models of no-lineal programming developed in this research, were shown appropriate for application in irregular areas and supplied smaller values of land movement when compared to the method of the minimum squares.
