Security-constrained optimal power flow (SCOPF) and security-constrained unit commitment (SCUC) problems are necessary tools for system operators for operati...

There are few systematic methodologies capable of predicting and managing the potential of large populations of appliances working as aggregated reserve reso...

In this paper, we propose a model for an energy broker who acts as a third party between the grid and its clients, through the maintenance of a two-sided po...

In grid or cloud computing, the optimal location and capacity of data centers (hosting the servers executing the remote users' tasks) depends on the availabl...

The Mesh Adaptive Direct Search (MADS) algorithm is designed for blackbox optimization problems subject to general inequality constraints. Currently, MADS do...

We characterize equilibrium pricing strategies in a marketing channel in two scenarios. In the first scenario, the manufacturer chooses the wholesale price...

Aircraft sizing, route network design, demand estimation and allocation of aircraft to routes are different facets of the air transportation optimization pro...

This paper provides new results on the application of semidefinite optimization to satisfiability by studying the connection between semidefinite optimizatio...

This paper discusses a unique formulation of en-route flight planning problem in a constrained airspace with the objective of minimizing the total cost while...

We consider the multivariate linear model for multilevel data where units are nested within a hierarchy of clusters. We propose permutation procedures to tes...

We introduce an efficient approach to evaluate counterparty risk and compute the Credit Value Adjustement for derivatives having early exercise features. The...

In this paper, we propose an empirical study of the centrality of actors in network. The data was collected among publicly available information of the boa...

Increase of bandwidth demand in data networks, driven by the continuous growth of the Internet and the increase of bandwidth greedy applications, raise the i...

We present a matheuristic, an integer programming based heuristic, for the liner shipping network design problem. This problem consists of finding a set of...

We study call routing policies for call centers with multiple call types and multiple agent groups. We introduce new weight-based routing policies where each...

An edge-coloring of a graph \(G=(V,E)\) is a function \(c\) that assigns an integer \(c(e)\) (called color) in \(\{0,1,2,\dotsc\}\) to every edge `(...

The Recursive Largest First (RLF) algorithm is one of the most popular greedy heuristics for the vertex coloring problem. It sequentially builds color clas...

We show here that every \(m\)-dimensional semiring module \(M\) over an idempotent semiring \(S\) with strongly independent basis can be embedded in...

This paper presents a new method for solving the short-term unit commitment and loading problem of a hydropower system. Dynamic programming is used to comput...

Air-conflict resolution is a bottleneck of air traffic management that will soon require powerful decision-aid systems to avoid the proliferation of delays....
