The object of study in the recent theory of Mean Field Games has been primarily large populations of agents interacting through a population dependent coupli...

This article discusses the problem of unloading a sequence of boxes from a single conveyor line with a minimum number of moves. The problem under study is ef...

This paper deals with a family of dynamic game models that represent schematically the interaction between groups of countries in achieving the necessary lim...

While the joint optimization of production and outbound distribution decisions in a manufacturing context has been intensively studied in the past decade, th...

The integration of biorefinery processes into existing pulp and paper mills has been identified as a promising avenue to maintain mills activities. It could ...

This paper proposes a multi-stage stochastic programming formulation for the reservoir management problem. Our problem specifically consists in minimizing th...

High-Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) merchant transmission lines allows trade across separate power markets and often in different countries. The flows on exis...

Trade flows on High-Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) interconnections between two jurisdictions are frequently assessed as suboptimal, which can be explained in...

We develop a general structural model for valuing risky corporate debts that takes into account both default and interest rate risk. We propose a two-dimensi...

Using random effects in the modeling of homogeneous Poisson processes (HPP) has proved effective (Cook and Lawless (2007) and Gongjun et al. (2015)). We (Kh...

The distance, distance Laplacian and distance signless Laplacian spectra of a connected graph \(G\) are the spectra of the distance, distance Laplacian and...

The paper discusses bounds on the nullity number of graphs. It is proved in [B. Cheng and B. Liu, On the nullity of graphs. Electron. J. Linear Algebra 16 ...

It is an established result in the literature that if the knowledge spillover between firms is sufficiently high, then R&D investments are higher when firm...

Global warming is a much discussed topic as it sparks debate for shaping government policy and how humans should behave in reaction to climate change. Global...

This paper analyzes the effects of geological heterogeneity representation in a producing reservoir, when different stochastic simulation methods are used, s...

For pattern-based simulation methods such as SIMPAT, filtersim, wavesim, ect, patterns are stored by scanning a training image with a sliding template. Dimen...

The traditional mine planning framework employs a flawed approach in the design of ultimate pit limits and phases. Conventional methods arbitrarily confine ...

This paper presents three hyper-heuristic approaches for the stochastic open-pit mine production scheduling problem with one processing stream (SMPS) and one...

Complex polymetallic mining projects with multiple processing streams tend to require tight blending constraints, with different operational and processing t...

With the advent of inexpensive sensors and digital storage, increasing amounts of data about a mining complex can be collected. This can include camera imagi...
