We extend the \(\alpha\) and \(\beta\) characteristic functions (CFs) to cooperative interval games, which constitute an interesting class of games t...

Bus scheduling in public transit consists in determining a set of bus schedules to cover a set of timetabled trips at minimum cost. This planning process has...

Yield uncertainty is an important issue in various industries such as agriculture, food, and textile where the production output is reliant on uncontrollable...

Le problème du partitionnement d'ensemble est un problème de programmation en nombres entiers très étudié. Le problème consiste à trouver une partition de tâ...

The cosine measure was introduced in 2003 to quantify the richness of a finite positive spanning sets of directions in the context of derivative-free direc...

Inventory management for slow-moving items is challenging due to their high intermittence and lumpiness. Recent developments in machine learning and computat...

This paper introduces the Heterogeneous-Fleet Electric Vehicle Routing Problem with Nonlinear Charging Functions (HEVRP-NL). This problem involves routing a ...

A challenge in aircraft design optimization is the presence of non-computable, so-called hidden, constraints that do not return a value in certain regions of...

In this work, we improve the efficiency of Unit Commitment (UC) optimization solvers using a Graph Convolutional Neural Network (GCNN). In power systems, UC ...

This paper introduces a new step to the Direct Search Method (DSM) to strengthen its convergence analysis. By design, this so-called covering step may e...

Determining optimal inventory replenishment decisions requires balancing the costs of excess inventory with shortage risks. While demand uncertainty has been...

In this work, we propose a non-intrusive and training free method to detect behind-the-meter (BTM) electric vehicle (EV) charging events from the data measur...

The Harwell Subroutine Library (HSL) is a renowned suite of efficient and robust numerical algorithms designed to tackle complex mathematical problems such a...

We show that the two-stage minimum description length (MDL) criterion widely used to estimate linear change-point (CP) models corresponds to the marginal lik...

We study the relation between the promotion of a cryptocurrency on Twitter and its return dynamics around pump-and-dump events. By analyzing abnormal retur...

Monte Carlo (MC) is widely used for the simulation of discrete time Markov chains. We consider the case of a \(d\)-dimensional continuous state space and w...

Randomized Quasi-Monte Carlo (RQMC) methods provide unbiased estimators whose variance often converges at a faster rate than standard Monte Carlo as a functi...

This work introduces a novel multi-fidelity blackbox optimization algorithm designed to alleviate the resource-intensive task of evaluating infeasible points...

This study addresses large-scale personnel scheduling problems in the service industry by combining mathematical programming with data mining techniques to...

We consider the set of graphs that can be constructed from a one-vertex graph by repeatedly adding a clique or a stable set linked to all or none of the vert...
