This paper presents an optimization method to solve the short-term unit commitment and loading problem with uncertain inflows. A scenario tree is built base...

In this paper, we introduce a general framework for vector space decompositions that decompose the set partitioning problem into a reduced problem, defined...

Inspired by successful biological collective decision mechanisms such as honey bees searching for a new colony or the collective navigation of fish schoo...

This paper addresses the problem of minimizing the number of moves to unload a set of boxes off a gravity conveyor by a forklift. If the input data is known ...

Advanced Metering Infrastructures ({AMI}s) lay the foundation of a wide variety of smart grid applications. Despite their low capacity, RF-mesh systems are a...

We consider the maximum \(k\)-cut problem that consists in partitioning the vertex set of a graph into \(k\) subsets such that the sum of the weights o...

This paper presents the results of two explorations: one, exhaustive, of the graph sets from 4 to 10 vertices, and other, using AGX-III program on graphs fro...

We consider a linear-state dynamic game played over an event tree and determine analytically the price of anarchy (PoA), as well as lower and upper bounds ...

In this paper, we show that cooperative outcomes in a dynamic game played over an event tree can be supported strategically, that is, to be part of a subga...

We use a newly developed model of the entire Canadian energy system (TIMES-Canada) to assess the climate change mitigation potential of different agri-food c...

The vehicle routing problem with time windows (VRPTW) consists of finding least-cost vehicle routes to satisfy the demands of customers that can be visited...

The subdifferential of a function is a generalization for nonsmooth functions of the concept of gradient. It is frequently used in variational analysis, part...

An edge-coloring of a graph \(G=(V,E)\) is a function \(c\) that assigns an integer \(c(e)\) (called color) in \(\{0,1,2,\dotsc\}\) to every edge `(...

In the literature, graphs are often studied in terms of invariants, for instance the number of vertices or edges, the stability number, the chromatic number ...

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

Inventory routing problems aim at minimizing the cost of the total distance traveled over a time horizon discretized in periods, while guaranteeing that th...

In recent years, a growing interest has been observed in research on RNA (ribonucleic acid), primarily due to the discovery of the role of RNA molecules in ...

This paper introduces the pickup and delivery problem with time windows and handling operations. In this problem, the loading compartment of a vehicle is mod...

Facility layout problems are an important class of operations research problems that has been studied for several decades. Most variants of facility layout ...

We study the impact of timing and commitment on adaptation and mitigation policies in the context of international environmental problems. Adaptation polic...
