The CRM, IVADO, and GERAD organized jointly the Fifteenth Montreal Industrial Problem Solving Workshop, which was held at HEC Montréal on June 2-6, 2025. We ...

This multi-model analysis examines the prospects of hydrogen in the Canadian and German energy systems, and particularly of hydrogen exports from Canada to...

The reformulation-linearization technique (RLT) is a well-established framework for generating hierarchies of linear programming (LP) relaxations for a wide ...

As the need for interpretable machine learning continues to grow, we propose a novel post-clustering method to generate counterfactual explanations for clust...

In addressing climate change, countries rely on two primary strategies: mitigation, which aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and adaptation, which seek...

We introduce Spatial Pattern Regression (SPR), a method to generate gridded historical meteorological data for climate adaptation. SPR operates in two steps:...

Large-scale distributed wireless networks provide infrastructure-free and cost-effective connectivity, supporting applications from disaster recovery to glob...

Chemical graphs are simple undirected connected graphs, where vertices represent atoms in a molecule and edges represent chemical bonds. A degree-based topo...

The growing reliance on power electronics introduces new challenges requiring detailed time-domain analyses with fast and accurate circuit simulation tools...

For continuing tasks, average cost Markov decision processes have well- documented value and can be solved using efficient algorithms. However, it explici...

Benchmarking is essential for assessing the effectiveness of optimization algorithms. This is especially true in derivative-free optimization, where target ...

Hydropower generation plays a crucial role in the global energy landscape, offering a renewable and sustainable source of electricity. Accurate forecasting o...

This work presents a new strategy to virtual bidding based on distributionally robust optimization (DRO) using a Wasserstein distance. Virtual bidding, a mec...

The \(p\)-median problem is a classical location problem where the goal is to select \(p\) facilities while minimizing the sum of distances from each loc...

Local search methods start from a feasible solution and improve it by successive minor modifications until a solution that cannot be further improved is enco...

This paper introduces a new approach to nurse scheduling that integrates employee well-being into the decision-making process. A random forest regressor is t...

On February 4, 2025, the 5th edition of GERAD's Student Day took place, under the theme of energy transition. The aim of this event was to give students the ...

Bilevel optimization has garnered growing interest over the past decade. However, little attention has been paid to detecting and dealing with unboundedness...
