A new heuristic non-linear approach for modeling the variable slope angles in open pit mine planning algorithms

In this paper a new non-linear heuristic approach has been developed to model the variable slope angles in the open pit optimization seattle seahawks socks algorithms that is based on a simple inverse distance formulation.In the primary approaches, a fixed value of slope angle is considered and it is usually based on special block configurations su
