In this paper, we evaluate the competitiveness of electric commercial vehicle (ECV) in medium-duty mid-haul logistics for a specific case study. This is done...

Electric commercial vehicles (ECVs) are gaining importance as they are seen to provide a sustainable mean of transportation. However, practitioners still see...

This paper reviews the literature on vehicle routing problems and location-routing problems with intermediate stops. Besides providing concise paper excerpts...

Most structural models for valuing corporate securities assume a geometric-Brownian motion to describe the firm's assets value. However, this does not reflec...

Many biological datasets such as microarrays, metabolomics, and proteomics involve observations (or subjects) in rows, and attributes (or genes, metabolites,...

This paper proposes a framework to determine day-ahead capacity profiles that account for the stochastic demand generated by user behavior in smart buildings...

L'algèbre tropicale est construite sur le semi-corps \(R_{max}= (R\cup \{-\infty\},\max, +)\). On démontre ici que tout module tropical \(M\) de dimens...

Visualization of high-dimensional data is counter-intuitive using conventional graphs. Parallel coordinates is proposed, as an alternative, to explore multiv...

The purpose of this paper is to develop a fast heuristic called FastCARP for the solution of very large-scale capacitated arc routing problems, with or witho...

Management and storage of waste and tailings are critical concerns in open pit mining, especially when the available space is limited but also to reduce the ...

Long-term open pit mine scheduling is generally assessed with a mixed integer programming (MIP) formulation which can be solved with different operations res...

Simple, intuitive, and scalable to large problems, \(k\)-means clustering is perhaps the most frequently-used technique for unsupervised learning. However...
