Management and storage of waste and tailings are critical concerns in open pit mining, especially when the available space is limited but also to reduce the ...

Long-term open pit mine scheduling is generally assessed with a mixed integer programming (MIP) formulation which can be solved with different operations res...

The airline crew scheduling problem, because of its size and complexity, is usually solved in two phases: the crew pairing problem and the crew assignment pr...

Scheduling problems on which constraints are imposed with regard to the temporal distances between successive executions of the same task have numerous appli...

In this article we consider a bi-objective vehicle routing problem in which, in addition to the classical minimization of the total routing cost, the operato...

We consider a static team problem in which agents observe correlated Gaussian observations and seek to minimize a quadratic cost. It is assumed that the ob...

Personnel scheduling consists of determining least-cost employee work schedules to cover the demand of one or several jobs in each period of a time horizon. ...

Most papers on digital advertising focus on the point of view of Internet companies such as Google and Microsoft, and were written by people working for thos...

This paper proposes a hierarchical decision making model for a coupled planning and operation problem of an advanced microgrid. The proposed model, is formul...

Location-routing problems (LRPs) with intra-route facilities have recently gained the attention of researchers and practitioners. Intra-route facilities are ...

The Runge-Kutta class of iterative methods is designed to approximate solutions of a system of ordinary differential equations (ODE). The second-order cla...

We consider the problems of determining the metric dimension and the minimum cardinality of doubly resolving sets in \(n\)-cubes. Most heuristics develope...

A private bad is a commodity that causes its owner disutility. This article studies the bilateral exchange of a bad for a good that provides utility. Conside...

We consider a dynamic marketing channel comprising of one manufacturer and one retailer, where consumer demand depends on price and on brand reputation. We...

The main objective of this paper is to explore deep decarbonization pathways for the Canadian energy sector that would allow Canada to participate in global ...

In this article we consider a difficult combinatorial optimization problem arising from the operation of a system for testing electronic circuit boards (EC...

The aim of this paper is to computationally compare several algorithms for the Minimum Cost Perfect Matching Problem on an undirected graph. Our work is moti...

Necessary and sufficient conditions are provided for the existence of a simple graph, or a simple connected graph with given numbers \(m_{ij}\) of edges ...

In this paper, we survey the literature applying viability theory to the sustainable management of renewable resources. After a refresher on the main conce...

This paper addresses the solution of the capacitated minimum cost flow problem on a network containing \(n\) nodes and \(m\) arcs. Satisfying necessary ...
