This paper studies a stochastic variant of the vehicle routing problem (VRP) where both customer locations and demands are uncertain. In particular, potentia...

The existing technologies that update geostatistically simulated models of mineral deposits cannot self-learn from incoming new information generated in oper...

A new mathematical model for stochastic short-term optimization of mining complexes is presented that simultaneously optimizes the short-term extraction sequ...

Personnel scheduling consists of determining least-cost work schedules to cover the demand of multiple jobs expressed in number of employees per job and peri...

Dans cet article, nous étudions la concurrence entre marques nationales et marques privées (ou marques de distributeurs) en analysant l’effet de la présence ...

Microgrid, a promising component of smart grid, will potentially yield a free electricity market. This paper proposes a novel construction for a community mi...

The Integral Simplex Using Decomposition (ISUD) algorithm has been developed recently to solve large set partitioning problems (SPPs) in a primal way, i.e.,...

New digital technologies including the development of advanced sensors and monitoring devices have enabled a mining complex to acquire new information abou...

Les problèmes de gestion de personnel visent à déterminer les horaires de travail les moins coûteux pour couvrir la demande d'une ou plusieurs tâches à chaqu...

Clustering is the subject of active research in several fields such as operations research, statistics, pattern recognition, and machine learning. The range ...

The purpose of this study is to design incentives for price and advertising coordination in a bilateral monopoly. I prove that a wholesale price reduction ...

This paper focuses on designing a state estimator for a discrete-time SEIR epidemic model of an influenza-like illness. It is assumed that only sets of adm...

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

As more and more data about mining complex operations is collected and stored, it becomes increasingly important for computer systems to help human operators...

Given an integer solution, the integral simplex using decomposition (ISUD) seeks a descent direction that leads to an improved adjacent integer solution. It ...

We consider a dynamic game model of ride-sourcing, where a large number of private car owners provide rides to randomly appearing customers. Free drivers c...

Personnel scheduling consists of determining least-cost employee work schedules to cover the demand of one or several jobs in each period of a time horizon. ...

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

Le problème de la détermination du plus grand sous-graphe \(k\)-colorable (\(k\)-MCSP) consiste à colorer autant de sommets que possible avec au plus `...

This paper examines the issue of price and advertising coordination in bilateral monopolies from a dynamic perspective. Its main objectives are to design i...
