The use of space through satellites is more and more important for nations, companies, and individuals. However, since the first satellite was sent up in 19...

We introduce an iterative method named GPMR for solving 2X2 block unsymmetric linear systems. GPMR is based on a new process that reduces simultaneously...

Production yield can be highly volatile and uncertain, especially in industries where exogenous and environmental factors such as the climate or raw material...

A small polygon is a polygon of unit diameter. The maximal area of a small polygon with \(n=2m\) vertices is not known when \(m \ge 7\). In this paper, w...

For a simple connected graph \(G\), let \(D(G), ~Tr(G)\), \(D^{L}(G)=Tr(G)-D(G)\), and \(D^{Q}(G)=Tr(G)+D(G)\) be the distance matrix, the diagonal m...

We formulate a batch reinforcement learning-based demand response approach to prevent distribution network constraint violations in unknown grids. We use the...

For a graph \(G\), the signless Laplacian matrix \(Q(G)\) defined as \(Q(G) = D(G) + A(G)\), where \(A(G)\) is the adjacency matrix of \(G\) and `...

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

This paper introduces the consistent production routing problem in a setting with multiple plants and products. The problem consists in finding minimum-cost ...

We propose a tone-based event study to reveal the aggregate abnormal tone dynamics in media articles around earnings announcements. We test whether they co...

We study bin-packing and lot-sizing decisions in an integrated way. Such a problem appears in several manufacturing settings where items first need to be cu...

The transmission of the contagious COVID-19 is known to be highly dependent on individual viral dynamics. Since the cycle threshold (Ct) is the only semi-qua...

In this paper we examine the stability of international environmental agreements about a (common) emissions target. By signing the agreement, the parties d...

The increasingly complex energy systems are turning the attention towards model-free control approaches such as reinforcement learning (RL). This work propos...

A small polygon is a polygon of unit diameter. The maximal width of an equilateral small polygon with \(n=2^s\) vertices is not known when \(s \ge 3\). T...

Battery charging of electric vehicles (EVs) needs to be properly coordinated by electricity producers to maintain the network reliability. In this paper, we ...

Binary quadratic programming (BQP) is a class of combinatorial optimization problems comprising binary variables, quadratic objective functions and linear/no...

This paper aims to identify the sources of value created in the strategic plan of a mining complex when the adaptive simultaneous stochastic optimization of ...

Stope design optimization defines mineable three-dimensional material volumes to be extracted from a mineral deposit, aiming to maximize cashflows subject ...

The geometallurgical models that predicting the throughput/comminution performance of the a processing plant often rely on rock hardness models, which are ba...
