Multiple-point simulations have been introduced over the past decade to overcome the limitations of second-order stochastic simulations in dealing with geolo...

A new non-stationary, high-order sequential simulation method is presented herein, aiming to accommodate complex curvilinear patterns and high-order spatia...

Over the last decade, geological uncertainty, its effects on long-term mine planning and methods for related risk management have been studied. However, th...

A mining complex can include multiple mines, stockpiles, waste dumps and processing facilities. Traditional optimization approaches are often based on sequ...

High-order sequential simulation methods have been developped as an alternative to existing frameworks to facilitate the modelling of spatial complexity of...

Mining complexes are value chains where extracted material from different mines is transformed into sellable products through a set of processing streams. ...

New digital technologies including the development of advanced sensors and monitoring devices have enabled a mining complex to acquire new information abou...

We consider the problem of efficiently managing a fishery where pollution externalities are present. The open-access bionomic model is analyzed in an $n$...

A hyper-heuristic refers to a search method or a learning mechanism for selecting or generating heuristics to solve computational search problems. Operat...

A new solution approach is developed herein to address the topic of multi-product open-pit mine production scheduling with multi-element uncertainty. The m...

This paper addresses the problem of distributing uniformly infrared radiative energy intercepted by a thermoplastic sheet surface during the infrared radiati...

In this paper, we consider a two-species fishery model where the species can have different biological interactions, namely, competitive, symbiotic or prey...

There has been a lot of interest recently on the energy efficiency and environmental impact of wireless networks. Given that the base stations are the netw...

This article describes a new model aiming at optimizing short- and medium-term underground mine scheduling. The complexity of the problem to solve and the fr...

This paper studies the strategic behavior of firms competing in the exploitation of a common-access productive asset, in the presence of pollution external...

This paper targets a stochastic energy management problem. We first decouple the stochasticity of the global scenarios to local scenarios. Then, we use spat...

Vehicle scrappage subsidy programs have been widely applied by governments to replace old cars by newer, more fuel-efficient ones. While these programs hav...

We analyze a transboundary pollution differential game where, in addition to the standard temporal dimension, a spatial dimension is introduced to capture th...

Energy and the environment are closely interconnected. In particular, energy-related carbon dioxide emissions are major contributors to climate change. To an...

The Canadian province of Quebec has set for 2030 a greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction target of 37.5% below 1990 levels. Meeting such a reduction targ...
