This paper addresses the winner determination problem (WDP) for TL transportation procurement auctions under uncertain shipment volumes and uncertain carrier...

We use NORTA (NORmal To Anything) to enhance normal credit-risk factor settings in modeling common risk factors and capturing contagion effects...

The survivorship bias in credit risk modeling is the bias that results in parameter estimates when the survival of a company is ignored. We study the statist...

In this paper we consider a version of the capacitated vehicle routing problem (CVRP) where travel times are assumed to be uncertain and statistically corre...

In the last 20 years, there has been increasing interest in using advanced simulation and optimization techniques to develop and manage mineral resources a...

The current trend of deeper and lower-grade deposits makes open pit mining less profitable. Mass mining alternatives have to be developed if mining at a si...

For over a decade, stochastic optimization has emerged as a framework that is capable of generating a life-of-mine production schedule that increases ne...

Twin Creeks is a gold mining complex part of Newmont's Nevada Operations. The mining complex is comprised of two open pits, Mega and Vista, external ore sour...

A mining complex is a mineral value chain that consists of multiple activities, starting from material extraction to a set of sellable products delivered t...

Short-term production scheduling in open pit mining consists of defining the extraction sequence and process allocation of mineralized material over time-sca...

In this paper, we focus on the problem that has been described in the second international nurse rostering competition: a personalized nurse scheduling prob...

This study presents a production scheduling optimization method for a mining complex, which provides a flexible long-term plan for future investments and ope...

Partially observed major minor LQG mean field game theory is applied to an optimal execution problem in finance; following standard financial models, control...

Stochastic Dynamic Programming (SDP) is a powerful approach applicable to nonconvex and stochastic stagewise problems. We investigate the impact of the form...

We propose an analytical formula for the evaluation of compound options when the underlying asset is described by a two-states Markov regime-switching log-...

An exchangeable bond is a debt that is convertible into shares of a firm's equity other than the bond's issuer. We evaluate an exchangeable bond within a two...

Unlike delta-hedging or similar methods based on Greeks, global hedging is an approach optimizing some terminal criterion that depends on the difference be...

Most structural models for valuing corporate securities assume a geometric-Brownian motion to describe the firm's assets value. However, this does not reflec...

The problem of output stabilization is studied for a class of linear hybrid systems subject to signal uncertainties: linear impulsive systems under dwell-t...

In this article, we discuss an alternative method for deriving conservative approximation models for two-stage robust optimization problems. The method main...
