Location-routing problems (LRPs) with intra-route facilities have recently gained the attention of researchers and practitioners. Intra-route facilities are ...

The Runge-Kutta class of iterative methods is designed to approximate solutions of a system of ordinary differential equations (ODE). The second-order cla...

We consider the problems of determining the metric dimension and the minimum cardinality of doubly resolving sets in \(n\)-cubes. Most heuristics develope...

A private bad is a commodity that causes its owner disutility. This article studies the bilateral exchange of a bad for a good that provides utility. Conside...

We consider a dynamic marketing channel comprising of one manufacturer and one retailer, where consumer demand depends on price and on brand reputation. We...

The main objective of this paper is to explore deep decarbonization pathways for the Canadian energy sector that would allow Canada to participate in global ...

In this article we consider a difficult combinatorial optimization problem arising from the operation of a system for testing electronic circuit boards (EC...

The aim of this paper is to computationally compare several algorithms for the Minimum Cost Perfect Matching Problem on an undirected graph. Our work is moti...

Necessary and sufficient conditions are provided for the existence of a simple graph, or a simple connected graph with given numbers \(m_{ij}\) of edges ...

In this paper, we survey the literature applying viability theory to the sustainable management of renewable resources. After a refresher on the main conce...

This paper addresses the solution of the capacitated minimum cost flow problem on a network containing \(n\) nodes and \(m\) arcs. Satisfying necessary ...

We propose an iterative method named LSLQ for solving linear least-squares problems \(A x \approx b\) of any shape. The method is based on the Golub and K...

The object of study in the recent theory of Mean Field Games has been primarily large populations of agents interacting through a population dependent coupli...

While the joint optimization of production and outbound distribution decisions in a manufacturing context has been intensively studied in the past decade, th...

The integration of biorefinery processes into existing pulp and paper mills has been identified as a promising avenue to maintain mills activities. It could ...

The distance, distance Laplacian and distance signless Laplacian spectra of a connected graph \(G\) are the spectra of the distance, distance Laplacian and...

The paper discusses bounds on the nullity number of graphs. It is proved in [B. Cheng and B. Liu, On the nullity of graphs. Electron. J. Linear Algebra 16 ...

It is an established result in the literature that if the knowledge spillover between firms is sufficiently high, then R&D investments are higher when firm...

This paper presents three hyper-heuristic approaches for the stochastic open-pit mine production scheduling problem with one processing stream (SMPS) and one...

Locally weighted regression combines the advantages of polynomial regression and kernel smoothing. We present three ideas for appropriate and effective use...
