Major projects often deviate from their expected budget, schedule, and benefits. Existing techniques to improve the forecasted outcome, such as the Refer...

JSOSuite.jl is a new Julia package offering a user-friendly interface for continuous nonlinear optimization. The solvers available cover unconstrained to g...

Bistable mechanical systems exhibit two stable configurations where the elastic energy is locally minimized. To realize such systems, origami techniques ha...

The cubic knapsack problem (CKP) is a combinatorial optimization problem, which can be seen both as a generalization of the quadratic knapsack problem (QKP) ...

Over the past years, Robotic Process Automation (RPA) has emerged as a significant tool to enhance productivity across various industries by automating repet...

The increasing penetration of renewable electricity generation as well as the implementation of demand response programs has led to new challenges in the ope...

Local search methods start from a feasible solution and improve it by successive minor modifications until a solution that cannot be further improved is enco...

We consider mean field social optimization in nonlinear diffusion models. By dynamic programming with a representative agent employing cooperative optimize...

Governments are motivated to subsidize profit-driven firms that manufacture zero-emission vehicles to ensure they become price-competitive. This paper intr...

We extend traditional complexity analyses of trust-region methods for unconstrained, possibly nonconvex, optimization. Whereas most complexity analyses as...

We consider a provider of electric vehicle charging that operates a network of charging stations and uses time-varying pricing to maximize profit and reduce ...

The water pump scheduling problem is an optimisation model that determines which water pumps will be turned on or off at each time period over a given time h...

This work introduces a _partitioned optimization framework_ (POf) to ease the solving process for optimization problems for which fixing some variables to a...

This paper addresses the limitations of current satellite payload architectures, which are predominantly hardware-driven and lack the flexibility to adapt to...

This paper tackles a complex variant of the unit commitment (UC) problem at Hydro-Quebec, referred to as the transient stability constrained unit commitmen...

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...

We describe the implementation of RipQP, an interior-point algorithm for convex quadratic optimization. Our Julia implementation is open source, and accommo...

This work introduces solar, a collection of ten optimization problem instances for benchmarking blackbox optimization solvers. The instances present differ...

The aim of this paper is to analyze the effect of adaptive investments on international environmental agreements (IEAs) focused on reducing greenhouse gas ...

We propose an approach to construct text-based time-series indices in an optimal way -typically, indices that maximize the contemporaneous relation or the pr...
