This paper presents a linear mixed-integer formulation to solve the short-term unit commitment problem. It determines the pair of maximum efficiency points o...

In e-commerce warehouses, online retailers increase their efficiency by using a mixed-shelves (or scattered storage) concept, where unit loads are purposeful...

We introduce the conditional \(p\)-dispersion problem (c-pDP), an incremental variant of the \(p\)-dispersion problem (pDP). In the c-pDP, one is given a...

Statistical image reconstruction in X-Ray computed tomography yields large-scale regularized linear least-squares problems with nonnegativity bounds, where t...

In the present paper, we prove lower and upper bounds for each of the ratios \(GA/\delta\), as well as a lower bound on \(GA/\sqrt{\delta}\), in terms of...

A small polygon is a polygon of unit diameter. The question of finding the largest area of small \(n-\)gons has been answered for some values of \(n\)....

Mathematical models of energy-economy-environmental systems (E3) provide a rational framework for exploring the effects of energy and climate policies and su...

The introduction of renewable energy sources (RES) changes the shape of an electricity system's supply curve. In a perfectly competitive market, this causes ...

We address a stochastic three-level lot sizing and replenishment problem with a distribution structure in a two-stage decision process. We consider one produ...

Personnel scheduling consists of determining least-cost work schedules to cover the demand of multiple jobs expressed in number of employees per job and peri...

We consider a large group of consumers who can choose between two products at each purchasing occasion. Their choice is influenced by the marketing strateg...

We present a progressive approximation algorithm for the exact solution of several classes of interdiction games in which two non-cooperative players (namely...

The performance of deep neural networks is highly sensitive to the choice of the hyperparameters that define the structure of the network and the learning pr...

Variable fixing by reduced costs is a popular technique for accelerating the solution process of mixed-integer linear programs. For vehicle routing problems ...

User-centered logistics aiming at customer satisfaction are gaining importance due to growing e-commerce and home deliveries. Customer satisfaction can be ...

In this paper, we introduce a class of deterministic finite-horizon two-player non-zero-sum differential games where one player uses continuous control wh...

Significant progress has been made in the field of computer vision, due to the development of supervised machine learning algorithms, which efficiently extra...

Since nonprofit organizations play an important role in providing goods and services in all countries, this paper aims at determining optimal policies for ...

We analyze an endogenous growth model with non-constant discounting and a negative externality of growth on utility. With a decreasing rate of impatience, ...

This paper studies the Dynamic Facility Location Problem with Modular Capacities (DFLPM). We propose a linear relaxation based heuristic (LRH) and an evoluti...
