We investigate the derivation of disjunctive conic cuts for mixed integer second order cone optimization (MISOCO). These conic cuts characterize the co...

This paper develops an efficient method to solve a typical combinatorial optimization problem that is frequently encountered when designing high levels of pr...

This paper introduces a new primal algorithm for solving a linear program LP. In this algorithm, a pricing problem, namely a linear fractional program, is ...

An artificial olfaction called electronic nose (e-nose) relies on an array of gas sensors with the capability of mimicking the human sense of smell. Applying...

This paper investigates the dynamic pricing strategies of firms selling complementary products in a marketing channel. The problem is modelled as a non-coo...

In this paper, we summarize some properties of the Cartesian product of graphs related to degree and distance-based invariants. Then, we investigate how mu...

This work describes the application of a direct search method to the optimization of problems of real industrial interest, namely three new material scien...

The effective management of call centers is a challenging task mainly because managers are consistently facing considerable uncertainty. Among important sour...

We propose a method to build trees and forests when the response is a non-homogeneous Poisson process with excess zeros, based on two forests. The first one...

The log-rank test is commonly used as the split function in many commonly used survival trees and forests algorithms. However, the log-rank test may have a...

Simulation-and-regression methods have been recently proposed to solve multi-period, dynamic portfolio choice problems. In the constant relative risk aver...

When a keyword-based search query is received by a search engine (SE), a classified ads website, or an online retailer site, the platform has exponentially...

Traditionally, both researchers and practitioners rely on standard Erlang queueing models to analyze call center operations. In those models, service times a...

This document describes the NOMAD software, a C++ implementation of the Mesh Adaptive Direct Search (MADS) algorithm designed for constrained optimization of...

In this article we investigate some strategies for solving set partitioning problems (SPP), in particular the gains in computational efficiency that can be...

Decentralized sequential hypothesis testing refers to a generalization of Wald's sequential hypothesis testing setup in which multiple decision makers make ...

Various disturbances such as adverse weather conditions may result in delayed or canceled flights and affect the optimized schedules planned for airline crew...

This paper considers a family of cutting planes, recently developed for mixed 0-1 polynomial programs and shows that they define facets for the maximum edge-...

In prior works, this group demonstrated the feasibility of valid adaptive sequential designs for crossover bioequivalence studies. In this paper, we extend t...

Tropical algebra is the algebra constructed over the tropical semifield \(\mathbb{R}_{max}\). After revisiting the classification of 2-dimensional `(\math...
