Using a multi-level perspective approach combined with top-down macroeconomic models, we analyse the situation of the GCC countries in the perspective of a...

We assess different scenarios for a transition to zero-net emissions in Qatar. The key technologies involved in the transition include electric mobility, hyd...

We investigate the ratio \(\mathcal{I}(G)\) of the average size of a maximal matching to the size of a maximum matching in a graph G. If many maximal mat...

A mathematical framework for modelling constrained mixed-variable optimization problems is presented in a blackbox optimization context. The framework intr...

This work proposes the integration of two new constraint-handling approaches into the blackbox constrained multiobjective optimization algorithm DMulti-MADS,...

Faster delivery, lower shipping costs, and a higher chance of product availability, are some of the benefits offered by an omnichannel business model. Assumi...

The Generator Maintenance Scheduling Problem (GMSP) is a problem that combines a hydropower optimization problem with a scheduling problem. Both problems are...

In the Weighted Fair Sequences Problem (WFSP), one aims to schedule a set of tasks or activities so that the maximum product between the largest temporal dis...

We consider a discrete-time version of the fish war model, where a regulator imposes a moratorium on fishing activities whenever the stock reaches a predeter...

Every component of an electric power system is susceptible to failure. The power transmission system connects generating units to local distribution systems,...

We formulate a batch reinforcement learning-based demand response approach to prevent distribution network constraint violations in unknown grids. We use the...

Engineering design is often faced with uncertainties, making it difficult to determine an optimal design. In an unconstrained context, this amounts to choose...

The simultaneous stochastic optimization of mining complexes (SSOMC) is a large-scale stochastic combinatorial optimization problem that simultaneously manag...

We study a predisaster relief network design problem with uncertain demands. The aim is to determine the prepositioning and reallocation of relief supplies. ...

We analyze a capital accumulation game in a dynamic version of Cournot duopoly model of complements. In this game, firms' instant profits are discontinuous a...

Within a non-cooperative transboundary pollution dynamic game, we study the strategic impact of a region's investment in the adoption of a cleaner technolog...

The problem of portfolio management represents an important and challenging class of dynamic decision making problems, where rebalancing decisions need to be...

Optimization with stochastic dominance constraints has recently received an increasing amount of attention in the quantitative risk management literature. In...

We review dynamic quality models both in single-agent setup and in a competitive framework. Our objectives are: (1) to give the reader a vantage point on t...

In most Swiss municipalities, a curbside system consisting of heavy trucks stopping at almost each household is used for non-recoverable waste collection. Du...
