This paper addresses the optimization of mineral supply chain operations under metal and material type uncertainties. A mathematical model to simultaneously ...

This paper develops an efficient method to solve a typical combinatorial optimization problem that is frequently encountered when designing high levels of pr...

In this article we investigate some strategies for solving set partitioning problems (SPP), in particular the gains in computational efficiency that can be...

Various disturbances such as adverse weather conditions may result in delayed or canceled flights and affect the optimized schedules planned for airline crew...

This paper presents a structured approach to model logical constraints (expressions that contain propositions and logical operators) in a linear program usin...

We propose a primal algorithm for the Set Partitioning Problem based on the Integral Simplex Using Decomposition of Zaghrouti et al. (2014). We present the a...

The maximally diverse grouping problem requires finding a partition of a given set of elements into a fixed number of mutually disjoint subsets (or groups) i...

In this paper we propose a general variable neighborhood search heuristic for solving the uncapacitated single allocation p-hub center problem (USApHCP). F...

The uncapacitated multiple allocation p-hub center problem (UMApHCP) consists of choosing p hub locations from a set of nodes with pairwise traffic deman...

Usually several neighborhood structures may be explored within a single local search algorithm. The simplest way is to define a single neighborhood as a unio...

In this paper we show that the Clique Partitioning Problem can be reformulated in an equivalent form as the Maximally Diverse Grouping Problem (MDGP). We th...

In the present paper, we are interested in bounding differences between graph invariants as well as in characterizing the corresponding extremal graphs. This...

This paper proposes models and algorithms for the pickup and delivery vehicle routing problem with time windows and multiple stacks. Each stack is rear-loade...

In this paper, we present a stochastic two-level optimization model whose upper-level problem depicts a wastewater treatment plant deciding on the size of co...

In this paper we present a new rolling horizon approach for solving stochastic mixed complementarity problems (MCPs). Such a scheme allows for decision-depen...

This paper describes three recent tools for dealing with primal degeneracy in linear programming. The first one is the Improved Primal Simplex (IPS) algor...

The airline crew scheduling problem involves assigning a group of crew members to scheduled flights over a planning horizon (usually a month) while respectin...

Effective route planning for battery electric commercial vehicle (ECV) fleets has to take into account their limited autonomy and the possibility of visiting...

Cake-cutting is a metaphor for problems where a principal agent has to fairly allocate resources. Such problems cover various areas of operations research ...

Since its introduction in 1969, the set partitioning problem has received much attention, and the structure of its feasible domain has been studied in detail...
