A new non-stationary, high-order sequential simulation method is presented herein, aiming to accommodate complex curvilinear patterns and high-order spatia...

Over the last decade, geological uncertainty, its effects on long-term mine planning and methods for related risk management have been studied. However, th...

A mining complex can include multiple mines, stockpiles, waste dumps and processing facilities. Traditional optimization approaches are often based on sequ...

High-order sequential simulation methods have been developped as an alternative to existing frameworks to facilitate the modelling of spatial complexity of...

Mining complexes are value chains where extracted material from different mines is transformed into sellable products through a set of processing streams. ...

New digital technologies including the development of advanced sensors and monitoring devices have enabled a mining complex to acquire new information abou...

Facility networks can be disrupted by, for example, power outages, poor weather conditions, or natural disasters, and the probabilities of these events may b...

We consider the problem of efficiently managing a fishery where pollution externalities are present. The open-access bionomic model is analyzed in an \(n\)...

In the recent years, the development of new algorithms for multiobjective optimization has considerably grown. A large number of performance indicators has...

A hyper-heuristic refers to a search method or a learning mechanism for selecting or generating heuristics to solve computational search problems. Operat...
