Constrained blackbox optimization is a difficult problem, with most approaches coming from the mathematical programming literature. The statistical literatur...
BibTeX reference
Blackbox optimization deals with situations in which the objective function and constraints are typically computed by launching a time-consuming computer ...

A preconditioned variant of the Golub and Kahan (1965) bidiagonalization process recently proposed by Arioli (2013) and Arioli and Orban (2013) allows us to ...
BibTeX referenceImproved primal simplex: A more general theoretical framework and an extended experimental analysis
In this article, we propose a general framework for an algorithm derived from the primal simplex that guarantees a strict improvement in the objective after ...

Finding communities in complex networks is a topic of much current research and has applications in many domains. On the one hand, criteria for doing so hav...
BibTeX reference
This paper presents the first direct implementation of the positive edge criterion using COIN-OR's CLP, where it has been combined with the Devex pivot rule....

Commercial piracy and counterfeiting are widespread phenomena in different businesses, ranging from software and video games to luxury fashion products. Th...
BibTeX reference
Typical challenges of simulation-based design optimization include unavailable gradients and unreliable approximations thereof, expensive function evaluation...
BibTeX reference
This article describes the problem in which the edges of a network represent customers, and a quantity of material is delivered to them so that each one achi...
BibTeX referenceBuffer Dimensioning and Control Stations Positioning with a Space Partitioning-Tabu Search Approach
We propose an efficient heuristic method based on Space Partitioning (SP) and Tabu Search (TS) to solve the buffer sizing problem in unreliable production li...
BibTeX referenceAn Exact Method for Solving the Buffer Sizing and Inspection Stations Allocations Problem
An unreliable single part type transfer line with fixed inter machine buffer sizes is considered. In general, imperfect machines operating with imperfect raw...
BibTeX reference
Since the 1970's, several authors have studied the structure of the set partitioning polytope and proposed adaptations of the simplex algorithm that find an ...
BibTeX reference
The analysis of networks and in particular the identification of communities, or clusters, is a topic of active research with application arising in many dom...

Aircraft maintenance planning is of critical importance to the safe and efficient operations of an airline. It is common to solve the aircraft routing and ma...
BibTeX reference
We consider a class of dynamic games played over an event tree, where the players cooperate to optimize their expected joint payoff. Assuming that the pla...
BibTeX reference
We propose a generalization of the limited-memory Cholesky factorization of Lin and Moré (1999) to the symmetric indefinite case with special interest in sym...
BibTeX reference
In this paper, we present a mixed integer programming model for solving the long-term planning problem of an underground mine. This model establishes the seq...
