This paper proposes a detailed analysis of the evolution of Canadian energy systems under some selected EMF (Energy Modeling Forum) 34 scenarios. Our analysi...

Conditional Value at Risk (CVaR) is widely used to account for the preferences of a risk-averse agent in the extreme loss scenarios. To study the effectiven...

This work presents the convergence rate analysis of stochastic variants of the broad class of direct-search methods of directional type. It introduces an alg...

The smooth operation of largely deployed Internet of Things (IoT) applications will depend on, among other things, effective infrastructure failure detectio...

In this paper, we introduce, model and solve the pickup and delivery problem with time windows, multiple stacks, and handling operations (PDPTWMS-H). % In...

While one can exploit the storage properties and thus the deferability or anticipation potential of many classes of power system loads (such as thermal loads...

This work considers the graph partitioning problem known as maximum k-cut. It focuses on investigating features of a branch-and-bound method to efficiently...

Given a set \(\mathcal{R}\) of m disjoint finite regions in the 2-dimensional plane, all regions having polygonal boundaries, and given a set `(\mathc...

It is well known that the integrated optimization of multiple and inter-related decisions in a supply chain can bring important benefits to companies. In thi...

The crew pairing problem is generally modelled as a set partitioning problem where the flights have to be partitioned in pairings. A pairing is a sequence of...

Quebec and Canada at large face difficult challenges to adapt and compete in the upcoming data driven economy. Many analysts already consider the game to be ...

Networked protection systems use information, communication and computation technologies to collect and process sensor data from spatially distributed sensor...

Wireless communications can facilitate transfer of synchrophasor data between spatially separated phasor measurement units (PMUs) and phasor data concentrato...

In this paper we study the spectral properties of the threshold graphs. In particular, we give lower and upper bounds for the largest and smallest eigenvalue...

In this paper we consider a differentiated oligopoly with two product varieties that are supplied by two groups of firms. We assume that firms can change t...

Free-Floating Carsharing (FFCS) systems are a promising concept to reduce the traffic volume in cities. However, spatial and temporal mismatches of supply an...

The solution to a biobjective optimization problem is composed of a collection of trade-off solution called the Pareto set. The present work studies the que...

The energy of a graph \(G\), denoted by \({\cal E}(G)\), is defined as the sum of the absolute values of all eigenvalues of \(G\). In this paper we stu...

Column generation algorithms for solving vehicle routing problems often rely on a relaxed pricing subproblem where routes may be non-elementary and which is ...

The energy landscape is marked by a rapid emergence of electricity prosumers at all levels of the grid. While energy policy seems to be more adaptive to the ...
