We propose an iterative method named LSLQ for solving linear least-squares problems \(A x \approx b\) of any shape. The method is based on the Golub and K...

The object of study in the recent theory of Mean Field Games has been primarily large populations of agents interacting through a population dependent coupli...

While the joint optimization of production and outbound distribution decisions in a manufacturing context has been intensively studied in the past decade, th...

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

The distance, distance Laplacian and distance signless Laplacian spectra of a connected graph \(G\) are the spectra of the distance, distance Laplacian and...

The paper discusses bounds on the nullity number of graphs. It is proved in [B. Cheng and B. Liu, On the nullity of graphs. Electron. J. Linear Algebra 16 ...

It is an established result in the literature that if the knowledge spillover between firms is sufficiently high, then R&D investments are higher when firm...

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

Locally weighted regression combines the advantages of polynomial regression and kernel smoothing. We present three ideas for appropriate and effective use...

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...

Branch-price-and-cut is a leading methodology for solving various vehicle routing problems (VRPs). For many VRPs, the pricing problem of a branch-price-and-c...

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

In the present paper we are interested in the study of the distance Laplacian eigenvalues of a connected graph with fixed order \(n\) and chromatic number ...

We consider a class of dynamic games played over an event tree, with random terminal. We assume that the players wish to jointly optimize their payoffs thr...

The Mesh Adaptive Direct Search algorithm (MADS) is an iterative method for constrained blackbox optimization problems. One of the optional MADS features i...

Two-level orthogonal designs play an important role in industrial screening experiments, in which the primary goal is to identify the treatment factors with ...

Network characterization and modelling is an important issue to understand and monitor IP network performance, in particular for real-time multimedia appli...

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...

In this paper, we propose an integer programming model for obtaining lower bounds for the curriculum-based course timetabling problem, in which weekly assign...

For positive definite linear systems (or semidefinite consistent systems), we use Gauss-Radau quadrature to obtain a cheaply computable upper bound on the ...
