Abstract: This paper presents an integrated approach for efficient path planning and energy management in hybrid unmanned aerial vehicles (HUAVs) equipped with dual fuel-electric propulsion systems.

Formulations of mathematical programs often require that some of the decision variables take only integer values. Consider the formulation You can follow the same steps to identify binary variables.
