We consider a deterministic two-player linear-state differential game, where Player 1 uses piecewise continuous controls, while Player 2 implements impulse...
BibTeX referenceAn oligopoly game of CDR strategy deployment in a steady-state net-zero emission climate regime
In this paper, we propose a simple oligopoly game model to represent the interactions between coalitions of countries in deploying Carbon Dioxide Removal ...
BibTeX reference
The design of key nonlinear systems often requires the use of expensive blackbox simulations presenting inherent discontinuities whose positions in the varia...
BibTeX reference
We study a new variant of the vehicle routing problem, which arises in hospital-wide scheduling of physical therapists. Multiple service locations exist for...
BibTeX reference
In this paper, we introduce a framework for new product dfiffusion that integrates consumer heterogeneity and strategic interactions at individual level. For...
BibTeX reference
We consider the iterative solution of regularized saddle-point systems. When the leading block is symmetric and positive semi-definite on an appropriate sub...
BibTeX reference
We provide eigenvalues bounds for a new formulation of the step equations in interior methods for convex quadratic optimization. The matrix of our formulati...
BibTeX referenceDecision tree-based optimization for flexibility management for sustainable energy microgrids
In this paper, we apply a flexibility based operational planning paradigm to microgrid (MG) energy dispatch. The classic energy dispatch problem with energ...

The Mars Curiosity rover is frequently sending back engineering and science data that goes through a pipeline of systems before reaching its final destinati...
BibTeX reference
Column generation (CG) algorithms are well known to suffer from convergence issues due, mainly, to the degenerate structure of their master problem and the ...
BibTeX reference
We consider an integrated optimization problem including the production, inventory, and outbound transportation decisions where a central plant fulfills the ...
BibTeX reference
Restless bandits are a class of sequential resource allocation problems concerned with allocating one or more resources among several alternative processes...
BibTeX reference
Deep learning has redefined modern standards and performance in several areas such as computer vision and natural language processing. With increasing amou...
BibTeX reference
Column generation (CG) is widely used for solving large-scale optimization problems. This article presents a new approach based on a machine learning (ML) t...

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the next society transformation builder. Massive AI-based applications include cloud servers, cell phones, cars, and pandemic...
BibTeX referenceSemi\(^+\)-supervised learning under sample selection bias
In time-to-event data analysis, the main object of interest is the time elapsed between the occurrence of two ordered events, say \(E_1, E_2\)
. Sampling fr...
Shallow Structured Potts Neural Network Regression (S-SPNNR)
We introduce a novel ensemble learning approach which combines random partitions models through Potts clustering with a non-parametric predictor such as sha...
BibTeX reference
In the area of hydraulic power generation, there is a great deal of interest in two interdependent domains: operation and maintenance. This interdependence...
BibTeX referenceThe Covering-Assignment Problem for swarm-powered ad-hoc clouds: A distributed 3D mapping use-case
The popularity of drones is rapidly increasing across the different sectors of the economy. Aerial capabilities and relatively low costs make drones the perf...
