Inferences about the prevalence of a given disease or condition can be drawn from results of a diagnostic test applied to a sample from the target population...

In this paper, we design a REDD mechanism (Reduction of Emissions from Deforestation and forests Degradation) to help a region in Madagascar manage its tropi...

In early 2001, the U.S. Department of the Treasury suspended the issuance of 30-year bonds, and then resumed issuing its long paper in early 2006. As a res...

Electric utilities have been using wind power to an increasing extent in order to provide clean energy. However, this resource depends on the intermittency o...

We describe a collection of linear systems generated during the iterations of an interior-point method for convex quadratic optimization. As the iteration...

With the emphasis on renewable energy integration, stochastic methods have begun to emerge as one of the most viable alternatives to traditional deterministi...

This work deals with the performance analysis of a particular type of AMI: the RF-mesh based smart meter network. The system implements a MAC access with a t...

A class of hybrid systems with both autonomous and controlled switchings and jumps is considered where switching manifolds corresponding to autonomous switch...

In this paper, we investigate team optimal control of a population of heterogeneous LQ (Linear Quadratic) agents. The population consists of finite distinct...

In this paper we present a novel formulation based on a certain median function to solve discretely constrained mixed complementarity problems (MCPs). Such p...

Starting from the improved primal simplex (IPS) decomposition, introduced by Elhallaoui et al. (2011) to tackle degeneracy in general linear programs, we int...

In this paper, we propose a diffusion model for a subscription service. The evolution over time of the number of subscribers is governed by a differential ...

Airline companies are subject to a considerable amount of disruptions during their operations. It is vital for many industries including the airline industry...

Adaptative cubic regularization (ARC) methods for unconstrained optimization compute steps from linear systems with a shifted Hessian in the spirit of the mo...

Non-price attributes such as prior relationship, product quality, and reliability can be more important than bidding prices for the buyers when selecting the...

The Great Recession has shaken the foundations of the financial industry and led to tighter solvency monitoring of both the banking and insurance industries....

In this paper, we tackle the aircraft conflict resolution problem under uncertainties. We consider errors due to the wind effect, the imprecision on the airc...

This short note outlines how energy storage systems are becoming a core component of modern low carbon electric power systems. Challenges and opportunities a...

A stochastic integer-programming (SIP) model is presented to optimize long-term scheduling of underground mine operations while considering geological uncert...

This paper deals with the resource constrained project scheduling problem, which consists of scheduling a set of activities with minimal duration that are su...
