The integration of biorefinery processes into existing pulp and paper mills has been identified as a promising avenue to maintain mills activities. It could ...

This paper proposes a multi-stage stochastic programming formulation for the reservoir management problem. Our problem specifically consists in minimizing th...

This paper analyzes the effects of geological heterogeneity representation in a producing reservoir, when different stochastic simulation methods are used, s...

The traditional mine planning framework employs a flawed approach in the design of ultimate pit limits and phases. Conventional methods arbitrarily confine ...

This paper presents three hyper-heuristic approaches for the stochastic open-pit mine production scheduling problem with one processing stream (SMPS) and one...

In this paper, we study how uncertainties weighing on the climate system impact the optimal technological pathways the world energy system should take to com...

We analyze a transboundary pollution differential game where pollution control is spatially distributed among a number of agents with predetermined spatial r...

This paper develops an international-trade game with two locally regulated producers. They may freely export but have to sell in their local market at a pric...

The authors investigate the complexity needed in the structure of the scenario trees to maximize energy production in a rolling-horizon framework. Three comp...

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...

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...

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 ...

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...

We study the impact of timing and commitment on adaptation and mitigation policies in the context of international environmental problems. Adaptation polic...

Thermoforming process is a technique widely used in the plastic industry. This process involves three stages: i) sheet heating, ii) forming, and iii) cooling...

Two bivariate extensions of the Skellam distribution were proposed by Genest and Mesfioui (2014), who also derived moment estimators for their dependence par...

In smart-metered systems, fine-grained power demand data (load profile) is communicated from a user to the utility provider. The correlation of the load pr...

This paper presents a new formulation for the risk averse stochastic reservoir management problem. Using recent advances in robust optimization and stochasti...
