We consider the maximum $k$-cut problem that involves partitioning the vertex set of a graph into $k$ subsets such that the sum of the weights of the...

The classical alternating current optimal power flow problem is highly nonconvex and generally hard to solve. Convex relaxations, in particular semidefinite,...

The facility layout problem is concerned with finding an arrangement of non-overlapping indivisible departments within a facility so as to minimize the tota...

Maintenance activities help prevent costly generator breakdowns but because generators under maintenance are typically unavailable, the impact of maintenance...

Electric power systems need to ensure that production and demand of electricity are continuously in balance. With fundamental changes taking place in the p...

This paper proposes a framework to determine day-ahead capacity profiles that account for the stochastic demand generated by user behavior in smart buildings...

With the increasing penetration of renewable energy sources in the electrical power grid, demand response via thermostatic appliances such as electric wate...
