Including employee preferences in a shift-scheduling scheme raises the question of how to aggregate employee satisfactions in a sensible manner. To do so, we...

In this paper, we propose a differential game model with a coupled constraint to represent the possible effects of climate agreements between industrialized,...

In this paper, we extend the classical market-share attraction model to a multi-category setting to include umbrella-branding spillover. Our starting conject...

The Tube Challenge consists of visiting all stations of the London Underground in the least possible time. The competition started in 1959 and the current r...

The airline crew scheduling problem has received extensive attention, particularly in the last sixty years. This problem is frequently divided into crew pair...

Various constrained problem formulations for the optimization of an electro-thermal wing anti-icing system in both running-wet and evaporative regimes are pr...

In many large engineering design problems, it is not computationally feasible or realistic to store Jacobians or Hessians explicitly. Matrix-free implementat...

In this paper, we introduce a new measure of social fairness based on unfairness feelings of the players involved in an allocation problem, e.g., cake-cuttin...

The distance signless Laplacian of a connected graph \(G\) is defined by \(\mathcal{D}^\mathcal{Q} = Diag(Tr) + \mathcal{D}\), where \(\mathcal{D}\) is...

Proximity \(\pi\) and remoteness \(\rho\) are respectively the minimum and the maximum, over the vertices of a connected graph, of the average distance f...

Given a linear program (LP ) with m constraints and n lower and upper bounded variables, any solution \(x^0\) to LP can be represented as a nonne...

In this article, we solve the pickup and delivery problem with time windows and last-in-first-out (LIFO) loading. LIFO loading minimizes handling while unloa...

The optimization of open-pit mine production scheduling (OPMPS) is an intricate process due to its size and uncertainty of key input parameters. Over the las...

The buffer sizing problem in unreliable production lines is a complex combinatorial optimization problem. In the formulation of the problem, the system consi...

While there has been a surge of articles on convergence diagnostic tools for MCMC on continuous stationary distributions and ordinal state spaces, Bayesian c...

We investigate geoengineering as a possible substitute for mitigation and adaptation measures to reduce damages from climate change. With the help of an inte...

Air traffic in Europe is predicted to increase considerably over the next decades. In this context, we present a study of the interactions between the costs...

The improved primal simplex (IPS) was recently developed by Elhalaloui et al. to take advantage of degeneracy when solving linear programs with the primal si...

We consider a dynamic closed-loop supply chain made up of one manufacturer and one retailer, with both players investing in a product recovery program to inc...

We revisit the relationship between market power and firms' investment incentives in a noncooperative differential oligopoly game in which firms sell diffe...
