Traditionally, the design of supply chains for humanitarian operations has been developed distinctly for the different disaster management phases, with littl...

Cities worldwide struggle with overloaded transportation systems and their externalities, such as traffic congestion and emissions. The emerging technology o...

The monthly crew pairing problem (CPP) consists of determining a least-cost set of feasible crew pairings (sequences of flights starting and ending at a crew...

This paper proposes a detailed analysis of the evolution of Canadian energy systems under some selected EMF (Energy Modeling Forum) 34 scenarios. Our analysi...

In this paper, we introduce, model and solve the pickup and delivery problem with time windows, multiple stacks, and handling operations (PDPTWMS-H). % In...

Given a set \(\mathcal{R}\) of m disjoint finite regions in the 2-dimensional plane, all regions having polygonal boundaries, and given a set `(\mathc...

The crew pairing problem is generally modelled as a set partitioning problem where the flights have to be partitioned in pairings. A pairing is a sequence of...

In this paper we study the spectral properties of the threshold graphs. In particular, we give lower and upper bounds for the largest and smallest eigenvalue...

In this paper we consider a differentiated oligopoly with two product varieties that are supplied by two groups of firms. We assume that firms can change t...

Free-Floating Carsharing (FFCS) systems are a promising concept to reduce the traffic volume in cities. However, spatial and temporal mismatches of supply an...

The solution to a biobjective optimization problem is composed of a collection of trade-off solution called the Pareto set. The present work studies the que...

The energy of a graph \(G\), denoted by \({\cal E}(G)\), is defined as the sum of the absolute values of all eigenvalues of \(G\). In this paper we stu...

Column generation algorithms for solving vehicle routing problems often rely on a relaxed pricing subproblem where routes may be non-elementary and which is ...

Mineral value chains or mining complexes involve mining, processing, stockpiling, waste management, and transportation activities. An integrated stochastic...

Deploying applications having many processes in a multi-cloud environment is challenging. The cloud manager has goals such as minimizing power consumption, w...

The standard blending problem consists of combining components to produce a final product with a given demand, while satisfying specific criteria with resp...

We address the problem of accelerating column generation (CG) for set-covering formulations via dual optimal inequalities (DOI). DOI use knowledge of the du...

This paper presents the application of adaptive simultaneous stochastic optimization with a representative branching framework to generate the strategic pl...

Dans cet article, nous construisons une solution coopérative cohérente dans le temps pour la classe de jeux dynamiques définis sur des arbres d'événements. ...

We analyze a differential game with spatially distributed controls to study a multiregional transboundary pollution problem. The dynamics of the state variab...
