We consider a class of dynamic collective choice models with social interactions, whereby a large number of non-uniform agents have to individually settle ...

This paper develops an exact method for the redundancy allocation problem (RAP) for multistate homogeneous series-parallel systems. The problem aims to min...

The Integral Simplex Using Decomposition (ISUD) algorithm has been developed recently to solve large set partitioning problems (SPPs) in a primal way, i.e.,...

This paper investigates the current patient transportation between services in a large hospital and provides a simulation-optimization solution to reduce com...

Electrical distribution network operators require measurements from phasor measurement units (PMUs), micro-PMUs (\(\mu\)PMUs), and smart meters (SMs) in or...

Dans le cadre de sa réforme du processus d’insolvabilité aux États-Unis, l’American Bankruptcy Institute (ABI) propose l’octroi d’une option de remboursement...

Multiple-point simulations have been introduced over the past decade to overcome the limitations of second-order stochastic simulations in dealing with geolo...

A new non-stationary, high-order sequential simulation method is presented herein, aiming to accommodate complex curvilinear patterns and high-order spatia...

Over the last decade, geological uncertainty, its effects on long-term mine planning and methods for related risk management have been studied. However, th...

A mining complex can include multiple mines, stockpiles, waste dumps and processing facilities. Traditional optimization approaches are often based on sequ...

High-order sequential simulation methods have been developped as an alternative to existing frameworks to facilitate the modelling of spatial complexity of...

Mining complexes are value chains where extracted material from different mines is transformed into sellable products through a set of processing streams. ...

New digital technologies including the development of advanced sensors and monitoring devices have enabled a mining complex to acquire new information abou...

Facility networks can be disrupted by, for example, power outages, poor weather conditions, or natural disasters, and the probabilities of these events may b...
