The technological developments observed in the last two decades contributed to the digitalization of products and the introduction of devices to consume th...

An electronic nose (e-nose) is a device that analyzes the chemical components of an odour. The e-nose consists of an array of gas sensors for chemical detect...

In this article we consider a real-world problem submitted to us by the Hatch company. This problem consists of designing a collection network for a wind f...

Scheduling activities in an underground mine is a very complex task. This paper presents an optimization model for short-term planning that takes into consid...

Given a graph \(G=(V,E)\) with a root \(r\in V\), positive capacities \(\{c(e) | e\in E\}\), and non-negative lengths \(\{\ell(e) | e\in E\}\), the m...

Positron emission tomography (PET) image reconstruction in the presence of periodic motion, such as heartbeat and breathing, has been actively investigated ...

Automatic programming is an efficient technique that has contributed to an important development in the artificial intelligence field. In this paper, we intr...

One of the most complex early-exercise decisions faced by traders in the financial derivatives markets is with T-Bond futures, due to the combination of mu...

Let \(\gamma(G)\) and \(\iota(G)\) be the domination and independent domination numbers of a graph \(G\), respectively. Introduced by Sumner and Moorer...

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...
