In this paper, we focus on the problem that has been described in the second international nurse rostering competition: a personalized nurse scheduling prob...
BibTeX reference
In this paper, we describe an algorithm for the personalized nurse scheduling problem. We focus on the deterministic counterpart of the specific problem t...
BibTeX reference
We consider the solution of derivative-free optimization problems with continuous, integer, discrete and categorical variables in the context of costly black...
BibTeX reference
Distance measures play an important role in data analysis, mainly for clustering purpose, but also for data representation (for instance using multidimension...
BibTeX reference
We study the lattice structure of random number generators of the MIXMAX family, a class of matrix linear congruential generators that produce a vector of...
BibTeX reference
The search neutrality debate is about whether search engines should or should not be allowed to uprank certain results among the organic content matching a...
BibTeX reference
This study presents a production scheduling optimization method for a mining complex, which provides a flexible long-term plan for future investments and ope...
BibTeX reference
Partially observed major minor LQG mean field game theory is applied to an optimal execution problem in finance; following standard financial models, control...
BibTeX reference
In Positron Emission Tomography (PET), deep crystals (>20 mm) must be used to enhance detection efficiency and increase overall scanner sensitivity. Howeve...
BibTeX referenceExistence and uniqueness of optimal dynamic pricing and advertising controls without concavity
We consider a pricing and advertising dynamic-optimization problem where the goodwill dynamics evolve à la Nerlove-Arrow. The firm maximizes its profit ov...
BibTeX reference
Given an integer solution, the integral simplex using decomposition (ISUD) seeks a descent direction that leads to an improved adjacent integer solution. It ...
BibTeX reference
This work studies the strategic impact of a region's investment in adaptation measures on the equilibrium outcomes of a transboundary pollution dynamic gam...
BibTeX reference
We propose a lemma that clarifies the proof of Theorem 4.1 on densities of sums in Rudelson and Vershynin. More precisely, by denoting by \(f_{S+Y}\)
the d...
CCGO: Fast heuristic global optimization
Global optimization problems are very hard to solve, especially when the nonlinear constraints are highly nonconvex, which can result in a large number of di...
BibTeX reference
We consider a dynamic game model of ride-sourcing, where a large number of private car owners provide rides to randomly appearing customers. Free drivers c...
BibTeX reference
We study X-ray tomograqphic reconstruction using statistical methods. The problem is expressed in cylindrical coordinates, which yield significant computatio...
BibTeX reference
Maintenance activities help prevent costly generator breakdowns but because generators under maintenance are typically unavailable, the impact of maintenance...
BibTeX referenceNumerical methods for stochastic dynamic programming with application to hydropower optimization
Stochastic Dynamic Programming (SDP) is a powerful approach applicable to nonconvex and stochastic stagewise problems. We investigate the impact of the form...
BibTeX reference
Counterfeiting, which is defined as illegally copying genuine goods with a brand name, is a widespread phenomenon and is imposing a huge cost on owners of tr...
BibTeX reference
We examine the stability of international environmental agreements when they include both adaptation and mitigation policies. We assume that adaptation req...
