This paper aims to identify the sources of value created in the strategic plan of a mining complex when the adaptive simultaneous stochastic optimization of ...

Stope design optimization defines mineable three-dimensional material volumes to be extracted from a mineral deposit, aiming to maximize cashflows subject ...

The geometallurgical models that predicting the throughput/comminution performance of the a processing plant often rely on rock hardness models, which are ba...

The goal of the Encyclopedia of Optimization is to introduce the reader to a complete set of topics that sh...

In this paper, we apply flexibility-based operational planning method to microgrid (MG) unit commitment (UC). The problem is formulated based on model predi...

A new linear model is presented herein to optimize strategic production scheduling of an open pit mine with multiple processing streams while accounting for...

Geostatistically simulated representations of mineral deposits are used for resource/reserve assessments, mine design and production planning, project evalua...

Industrial mining complexes can be optimized using simultaneous stochastic optimization (SSO), which manages the risks associated with meeting production tar...

This paper presents a new truck dispatching policy approach that is adaptive given different mining complex configurations in order to deliver supply materia...

The existing technologies that update geostatistically simulated models of mineral deposits cannot self-learn from incoming new information generated in oper...

A training-image free, high-order sequential simulation method is proposed herein, which is based on the efficient inference of high-order spatial statistics...

This article presents a novel stochastic optimization model that simultaneously optimizes the short-term extraction sequence, shovel relocation, scheduling o...

An innovative strategic mine planning approach is applied to a multi-mine and multi-process gold mining complex that simultaneously considers feasible capita...

NOMAD is software for optimizing blackbox problems. In continuous development since 2001, it constantly evolved with the integration of new algorithmic...

To satisfy a rising demand, agricultural practices have shifted from the organic fertilization of soils to intensive and highly specialized farming that uses...

We empirically test the prediction of Pastor, stambaugh, and Taylor (2020) that green firms outperform brown firms when concerns about climate change increas...

This paper presents an algorithm for the identification of parameters for a stochastic hot water end-use process that drives a homogeneous population of ther...

Energy generation has always been a major stake in our economy and is all the more so with the increase in energy demand all over the world. In that context,...

We consider the problem of a government that wishes to promote replacing old cars with new ones via a vehicle scrappage program. Since these programs incre...

We consider a two-stage game in a differentiated duopoly, where firms can pursue both a financial and an environmental objective. We assume that the maximu...
