Optimizing the hyperparameters and architecture of a neural network is a long yet necessary phase in the development of any new application. This consuming p...

The spread of an infectious disease such as COVID-19 is governed by complex social interactions that are challenging to model. Policy makers must take measur...

Drones have been getting more and more popular in many economy sectors. Both scientific and industrial communities aim at making the impact of drones even mo...

Robotic process automation (RPA) is used in various fields of human activity in order to implement faster and more secure processes through a reduction in th...

In this paper, we introduce a new variant of the vehicle routing problem with time windows (VRPTW) that arises in parcel delivery by postal services. In addi...

This paper presents the properties of the minimum mean cycle-canceling algorithm for solving linear programming models. Originally designed by Goldberg ...

We introduce iterative methods named TriCG and TriMR for solving symmetric quasi-definite systems based on the orthogonal tridiagonalization process proposed...

Algorithm NCL is designed for general smooth optimization problems
    where first and second derivatives are available,
    including problems whose constrai...

Personnel scheduling aims to determine least-cost personnel schedules to meet the demand for employees in each period of a planning horizon. In this article,...

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,...

The personalized crew rostering problem (CRP) consists of assigning pairings (sequences of flights, deadheads, connections, and rests, forming one or several...

The crew pairing problem (CPP) is solved in the first step of the crew scheduling process. It consists of creating a set of pairings (sequence of flights, co...

We consider logistic collaborations where multiple carriers collaborate by consolidating demands, combining delivery routes, and serving new customers. Logis...

We study a class of deterministic two-player nonzero-sum differential games where one player uses piecewise-continuous controls to affect the continuously e...

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...

In this paper, we study the time consistency of cooperative agreements in dynamic games with nontransferable utility. An agreement designed at the outset of ...

We represent a closed-loop supply chain formed of one manufacturer and one retailer as a dynamic game played over an event tree, which naturally allows to ...

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...

Given a set of predefined duties and groups of drivers, the duty assignment problem with group-based driver preferences (DAPGDP) aims at building rosters tha...
