In this paper, we introduce a new measure of social fairness based on unfairness feelings of the players involved in an allocation problem, e.g., cake-cuttin...

The distance signless Laplacian of a connected graph \(G\) is defined by \(\mathcal{D}^\mathcal{Q} = Diag(Tr) + \mathcal{D}\), where \(\mathcal{D}\) is...

Proximity \(\pi\) and remoteness \(\rho\) are respectively the minimum and the maximum, over the vertices of a connected graph, of the average distance f...

Given a linear program (LP ) with m constraints and n lower and upper bounded variables, any solution \(x^0\) to LP can be represented as a nonne...

In this article, we solve the pickup and delivery problem with time windows and last-in-first-out (LIFO) loading. LIFO loading minimizes handling while unloa...

The optimization of open-pit mine production scheduling (OPMPS) is an intricate process due to its size and uncertainty of key input parameters. Over the las...

The buffer sizing problem in unreliable production lines is a complex combinatorial optimization problem. In the formulation of the problem, the system consi...

While there has been a surge of articles on convergence diagnostic tools for MCMC on continuous stationary distributions and ordinal state spaces, Bayesian c...

We investigate geoengineering as a possible substitute for mitigation and adaptation measures to reduce damages from climate change. With the help of an inte...

Air traffic in Europe is predicted to increase considerably over the next decades. In this context, we present a study of the interactions between the costs...

The improved primal simplex (IPS) was recently developed by Elhalaloui et al. to take advantage of degeneracy when solving linear programs with the primal si...

We consider a dynamic closed-loop supply chain made up of one manufacturer and one retailer, with both players investing in a product recovery program to inc...

We revisit the relationship between market power and firms' investment incentives in a noncooperative differential oligopoly game in which firms sell diffe...

This paper focuses on the resolution of the capacitated minimum cost flow problem on a network comprising <i>n</i> nodes and <i>m</i> arcs. We present a met...

Remote communities are typically isolated from the main electricity grid and require local generation, most often relying on expensive resources (especially ...

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

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

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

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

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