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 ...

Intermittent renewable energy, such as solar and wind, brings uncertainty into the grid. To increase their contribution into the energy mix, load management ...

Estimating the unknown density from which a given independent sample originates is more difficult than estimating the mean, in the sense that for the best po...

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...

Array-RQMC has been proposed as a way to effectively apply randomized quasi-Monte Carlo (RQMC) when simulating a Markov chain over a large number of steps to...

In this study, we develop a deterministic nonlinear filtering algorithm based on a high-dimensional version of Kitagawa (1987) to evaluate the likelihood fun...

This paper introduces the algorithmic design and implementation of Tulip, an open-source interior-point solver for linear optimization. It implements the ho...

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 ...

The deepening penetration of renewable power generation is challenging how the minute balancing of supply and demand is carried out by power system operators...

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

We consider three colouring problems which are variations of the basic vertex-colouring problem, and are motivated by applications from various domains. We g...

In this paper, we study the competition between national brands and private labels (or store brands) by analyzing the impacts of their presence on strategies...

Reducing the number of features used in data classification can remove noisy or redundant features, reduce the cost of data collection, and improve the accur...

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

\(K\)-medoids clustering is among the most popular methods for cluster analysis, but it carries several assumptions about the nature of the latent clusters...

We build upon Estrin et al. (2019) to develop a general constrained nonlinear optimization algorithm based on a smooth penalty function proposed by Fletch...

In large commercial airlines, the monthly schedule (roster) of the crew members is usually determined by solving two problems sequentially, namely, the crew ...
