The calibration of hydrological models is here formulated as a Blackbox optimization problem where the only information available to the optimization algorit...

A performance-based mechanism as a support for an environmental protection law is proposed to promote product recovery and to subside the pollution caused by...

In this paper, we evaluate the competitiveness of electric commercial vehicle (ECV) in medium-duty mid-haul logistics for a specific case study. This is done...

Management and storage of waste and tailings are critical concerns in open pit mining, especially when the available space is limited but also to reduce the ...

Long-term open pit mine scheduling is generally assessed with a mixed integer programming (MIP) formulation which can be solved with different operations res...

We consider a static team problem in which agents observe correlated Gaussian observations and seek to minimize a quadratic cost. It is assumed that the ob...

This paper proposes a hierarchical decision making model for a coupled planning and operation problem of an advanced microgrid. The proposed model, is formul...

A private bad is a commodity that causes its owner disutility. This article studies the bilateral exchange of a bad for a good that provides utility. Conside...

This paper proposes a multi-stage stochastic programming formulation based on affine decision rules for the reservoir management problem. Our approach seeks ...

The main objective of this paper is to explore deep decarbonization pathways for the Canadian energy sector that would allow Canada to participate in global ...

In this paper, we survey the literature applying viability theory to the sustainable management of renewable resources. After a refresher on the main conce...

The integration of biorefinery processes into existing pulp and paper mills has been identified as a promising avenue to maintain mills activities. It could ...

This paper proposes a multi-stage stochastic programming formulation for the reservoir management problem. Our problem specifically consists in minimizing th...

This paper analyzes the effects of geological heterogeneity representation in a producing reservoir, when different stochastic simulation methods are used, s...

The traditional mine planning framework employs a flawed approach in the design of ultimate pit limits and phases. Conventional methods arbitrarily confine ...

This paper presents three hyper-heuristic approaches for the stochastic open-pit mine production scheduling problem with one processing stream (SMPS) and one...

In this paper, we study how uncertainties weighing on the climate system impact the optimal technological pathways the world energy system should take to com...

We analyze a transboundary pollution differential game where pollution control is spatially distributed among a number of agents with predetermined spatial r...

This paper develops an international-trade game with two locally regulated producers. They may freely export but have to sell in their local market at a pric...

The authors investigate the complexity needed in the structure of the scenario trees to maximize energy production in a rolling-horizon framework. Three comp...
