A training-image free, high-order sequential simulation method is proposed herein, which is based on the efficient inference of high-order spatial statistics...

This article presents a novel stochastic optimization model that simultaneously optimizes the short-term extraction sequence, shovel relocation, scheduling o...

An innovative strategic mine planning approach is applied to a multi-mine and multi-process gold mining complex that simultaneously considers feasible capita...

NOMAD is software for optimizing blackbox problems. In continuous development since 2001, it constantly evolved with the integration of new algorithmic...

To satisfy a rising demand, agricultural practices have shifted from the organic fertilization of soils to intensive and highly specialized farming that uses...

We empirically test the prediction of Pastor, stambaugh, and Taylor (2020) that green firms outperform brown firms when concerns about climate change increas...

This paper presents an algorithm for the identification of parameters for a stochastic hot water end-use process that drives a homogeneous population of ther...

Energy generation has always been a major stake in our economy and is all the more so with the increase in energy demand all over the world. In that context,...

We consider the problem of a government that wishes to promote replacing old cars with new ones via a vehicle scrappage program. Since these programs incre...

We consider a two-stage game in a differentiated duopoly, where firms can pursue both a financial and an environmental objective. We assume that the maximu...

Generation expansion planning (GEP) is a classical problem that determines an optimal investment plan for existing and future electricity generation technolo...

This paper studies disjunctive cutting planes in Mixed-Integer Conic Programming. Building on conic duality, we formulate a cut-generating conic program for...

Data acquisition and recording in the form of databases are routine operations. The process of collecting data, however, may experience irregularities, res...

This work reviews blackbox optimization applications over the last twenty years, addressed using direct search optimization methods. Emphasis is placed on...

In this paper, we propose a simple oligopoly game model to represent the interactions between coalitions of countries in deploying Carbon Dioxide Removal ...

In this paper, we apply a flexibility based operational planning paradigm to microgrid (MG) energy dispatch. The classic energy dispatch problem with energ...

Deep learning has redefined modern standards and performance in several areas such as computer vision and natural language processing. With increasing amou...

In the area of hydraulic power generation, there is a great deal of interest in two interdependent domains: operation and maintenance. This interdependence...

This paper proposes a detailed analysis of the evolution of Canadian energy systems under some selected EMF (Energy Modeling Forum) 34 scenarios. Our analysi...

Mineral value chains or mining complexes involve mining, processing, stockpiling, waste management, and transportation activities. An integrated stochastic...
