Nanoparticle-mediated drug delivery may be a promising alternative to traditional chemo-therapy of high systemic toxicity. Tumor tissue architecture poses a ...

This work introduces StoMADS, a stochastic variant of the mesh adaptive direct-search (MADS) algorithm originally developed for deterministic blackbox optim...

This article discusses the precedence-constrained class sequencing problem (PCCSP). In scheduling terms, this is a one-machine scheduling problem with preced...

Dealing with demand uncertainty in multi-item lot sizing problems poses huge challenges due to the inherent complexity. The resulting stochastic formulation...

We introduce an iterative method named BiLQ for solving general square linear systems \(Ax=b\) based on the Lanczos biorthogonalization process defined by ...

Nous déterminons le prix optimal et la quantité commandée de deux produits substituts offerts dans deux marchés, dont l'un est saisonnier avec un potentiel d...

Cities are facing severe traffic-related problems causing emission thresholds to be exceeded. All around the world, city center access restriction policies a...

In an optimization problem, multiplying an inequality constraint by a positive scalar has no effect on the domain. However, such a transformation might have...

Dans ce papier, nous comparons la méthode BFGS à la méthode du gradient conjugué (CG) pour résoudre un problème d'optimisation sans contrainte avec un algori...

This paper presents a linear mixed-integer formulation to solve the short-term unit commitment problem. It determines the pair of maximum efficiency points o...

In e-commerce warehouses, online retailers increase their efficiency by using a mixed-shelves (or scattered storage) concept, where unit loads are purposeful...

We introduce the conditional \(p\)-dispersion problem (c-pDP), an incremental variant of the \(p\)-dispersion problem (pDP). In the c-pDP, one is given a...

Statistical image reconstruction in X-Ray computed tomography yields large-scale regularized linear least-squares problems with nonnegativity bounds, where t...

We consider the use of demand response to address phase unbalance in a distribution grid. At present this problem is addressed by modifying the topology of t...

In the present paper, we prove lower and upper bounds for each of the ratios \(GA/\delta\), as well as a lower bound on \(GA/\sqrt{\delta}\), in terms of...

A small polygon is a polygon of unit diameter. The question of finding the largest area of small \(n-\)gons has been answered for some values of \(n\)....

Mathematical models of energy-economy-environmental systems (E3) provide a rational framework for exploring the effects of energy and climate policies and su...

This paper explores the idea that two-stage worst-case regret minimization problems with either objective or right-hand side uncertainty can be reformulated ...

The introduction of renewable energy sources (RES) changes the shape of an electricity system's supply curve. In a perfectly competitive market, this causes ...

Nous étudions un problème stochastique de planification de production et réapprovision-nement sur trois échelons via un processus de décision en deux étapes....
