Any telecommunication network is subject to a node or link failure at any given time. Such a failure may impact the quality of the services provided by the n...

We consider a static team problem in which agents observe correlated Gaussian observations and seek to minimize a quadratic cost. It is assumed that the ob...

Personnel scheduling consists of determining least-cost employee work schedules to cover the demand of one or several jobs in each period of a time horizon. ...

Most papers on digital advertising focus on the point of view of Internet companies such as Google and Microsoft, and were written by people working for thos...

The problem of output stabilization is studied for a class of linear hybrid systems subject to signal uncertainties: linear impulsive systems under dwell-t...

In this article, we discuss an alternative method for deriving conservative approximation models for two-stage robust optimization problems. The method main...

Maritime Guinea is a region that opens onto the Atlantic Ocean on about 300 km of coastline. This is characterized by the almost continuous formation of mang...

This paper proposes a hierarchical decision making model for a coupled planning and operation problem of an advanced microgrid. The proposed model, is formul...

The vertex cover problem and the dominating set problem are two well-known problems in graph theory. Their goal is to find the minimum size of a vertex subse...

Location-routing problems (LRPs) with intra-route facilities have recently gained the attention of researchers and practitioners. Intra-route facilities are ...

The Runge-Kutta class of iterative methods is designed to approximate solutions of a system of ordinary differential equations (ODE). The second-order cla...

We consider the problems of determining the metric dimension and the minimum cardinality of doubly resolving sets in \(n\)-cubes. Most heuristics develope...

We consider the multivariate linear model for multilevel data where units are nested within a hierarchy of clusters. We propose permutation procedures to te...

Facility layout is a well-known operations research problem that arises in various applications. The multi-row layout is a challenging optimization problem...

This work presents a collaborative scheme for the end-users in a smart building with multiple housing units. This approach determines a day-ahead operational...

A private bad is a commodity that causes its owner disutility. This article studies the bilateral exchange of a bad for a good that provides utility. Conside...

In this study, the problem environment consists of two fast fashion retailing firms where one can obtain the other's selling data from an outside agent. The ...

We consider a dynamic marketing channel comprising of one manufacturer and one retailer, where consumer demand depends on price and on brand reputation. We...

Recently, two different copula-based approaches have been proposed to estimate the conditional quantile function of a variable \(Y\) with respect to a vect...

This paper proposes a multi-stage stochastic programming formulation based on affine decision rules for the reservoir management problem. Our approach seeks ...
