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...

Nous examinons le problème de la gestion efficace d’une pêcherie où des externalités de pollution sont présentes. Le modèle bionomique de pêche en libre accè...

In the recent years, the development of new algorithms for multiobjective optimization has considerably grown. A large number of performance indicators has...

A hyper-heuristic refers to a search method or a learning mechanism for selecting or generating heuristics to solve computational search problems. Operat...

In this paper, we develop algorithmic approaches for a recently defined class of games, the integer programming games. Two general methods to approximate an...

In this paper we tackle the problem of eNodeB failure detection in LTE networks using Binary Classification techniques under smart-cities Machine-to-Machine ...

Dans cet article, nous étudions le problème du partage de responsabilités dans la récupération de produits usés et son lien avec la conception d’une réglemen...

The optimal reactive power dispatch (ORPD) problem is an alternating current optimal power flow (ACOPF) problem where discrete control devices for regulating...

Top-tier customers -that is, those 20% of customers that typically bring in 80% of all profits- are extremely valuable to companies. In the many instances ...

The primal adjacency-based algorithm and the multi-directional dynamic programming algorithm are two exact methods that have recently been developed to effic...

Une nouvelle approche est développée dans cet article pour résoudre le problème de la planification stratégique de production d'une mine à ciel-ouvert dans...

This paper addresses the problem of distributing uniformly infrared radiative energy intercepted by a thermoplastic sheet surface during the infrared radiati...

Genetic algorithms are used for feature selection through a fitness function that drives the evolution of populations. With parallel universes, an importance...

The eccentric connectivity index of a connected graph \(G\) is the sum over all vertices \(v\) of the product \(d_G(v)e_G(v)\), where \(d_G(v)\) is ...

We study an integrated process configuration, lot-sizing, and scheduling problem, which appears in a real production environment in the packaging industry. P...

In this paper, we consider non-stationary response variables and covariates, where the marginal distributions and the associated copula may be time-dependent...

We extend a quasi-Monte Carlo scheme designed for coagulation to the simulation of the coagulation-fragmentation equation. A number \(N\) of particles is ...

The eccentricity of a vertex \(v\) in a graph \(G\) is the maximum distance between \(v\) and any other vertex of \(G\). The diameter of a graph `(...

A graceful difference labeling (gdl for short) of a directed graph \(G\) with vertex set \(V\) is a bijection `(f:V\rightarrow{1,\ldots,\vert V\vert}...
