A decomposition method is developed to optimize a mineral value chain composed of a one or multiple mines and a material flow circuit. In the proposed decomp...

As open pit mining of a mineral deposit deepens, the cost of extraction may increase up to a threshold where transitioning to mining through underground meth...

High-order sequential simulation techniques for complex and non-Gaussian spatially distributed variables were developed over the last few years. This paper p...

Mineral value chains consist of material from multiple sources, several processing streams, and transportation systems that combine to generate various salea...

Over the past several years, there has been substantial progress in developing new stochastic mine planning optimization models and computationally efficient...

Network characterization and modelling is an important issue to understand and monitor IP network performance, in particular for real-time multimedia appli...

Considering a graph as a network of resistances, Klein and Randić (1993) proposed the definition of a distance measure. Indeed, if each edge of the graph re...

Clustering addresses the problem of finding homogeneous and well-separated subsets, called clusters, from a set of given data points. In addition to the poi...

Dans cet article, nous analysons un jeu de commerce international où les producteurs peuvent librement exporter, mais sont soumis à une tarification au coût ...

The \(k\)-means is a benchmark algorithm used in cluster analysis. It belongs to the large category of heuristics based on location-allocation steps that ...

The balanced clustering problem consists of partitioning a set of \(n\) objects into \(K\) equal-sized clusters as long as \(n\) is a multiple of `(K...

Lévy processes provide a solution to overcome the shortcomings of the lognormal hypothesis. A growing literature proposes the use of pure-jump Lévy processe...

This paper presents a new methodology to estimate power capacity profiles for smart buildings. The capacity profile can be used within a demand side manage...

When dealing with node or link failures in Software Defined Networking (SDN), the network capability to establish an alternative path depends on controller r...

In this paper, we propose an integer programming model for obtaining lower bounds for the curriculum-based course timetabling problem, in which weekly assign...

La quadrature de Gauss-Radau nous permet d'obtenir une borne supérieure peu coûteuse sur l'erreur en norme Euclidienne associée aux itérés de SYMMLQ appliqu...

This paper describes a vector space decomposition algorithmic framework for linear programming guided by dual feasibility considerations. The resolution pro...

Nous considérons un jeu dynamique avec un gouvernement corrompu et des organisations civiles comme joueurs. Le jeu est à la Stackelberg et où le gouvernemen...

We propose the option realized variance as a new observable covariate that integrates high frequency option prices in the inference of option pricing models....

Synchronization of workers and vehicles plays a major role in many industries such as logistics, healthcare or airport ground handling. In this paper, we fo...
