Traditional geostatistical simulation methods assume that the first two order statistics are sufficient to model mineral deposits. However, these methods are...

Modeling and assessing spatial uncertainty of mineral deposits is critical for capital investments in mining projects. However, traditional approaches for mo...

A long-term production schedule for the LabMag iron ore deposit in northern Québec, Canada is derived using stochastic integer programming. The optimization ...

Short-term mine production scheduling optimization is developed as a single formulation where mining considerations, production constraints, uncertainty in t...

This paper presents a new mathematical formulation to address mine production scheduling with multiple processing streams, under mineral supply uncertainty, ...

A two-stage stochastic mixed integer non-linear program is formulated for a mining complex to optimize strategic and tactical plans. The objective is to find...

Geostatistical simulation techniques are used to quantify uncertainty of spatial attributes of interest describing mineral deposits, petroleum reservoirs, hy...

A method that optimizes mining complexes that are comprised of multiple processing destinations, open pits and underground operations is presented. Mining, b...

Previous research related to the optimization of mining operations has predominantly focused on generating a life-of-mine production schedule that maximizes ...

In this paper, we propose an empirical study of the centrality of actors in network. The data was collected among publicly available information of the boa...

In this paper, the first steps toward the use of the Variable Neighborhood Search metaheuristic are explained. The method is presented step by step using an...

We investigate the derivation of disjunctive conic cuts for mixed integer second order cone optimization (MISOCO). These conic cuts characterize the co...

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

This paper introduces a new primal algorithm for solving a linear program LP. In this algorithm, a pricing problem, namely a linear fractional program, is ...

An artificial olfaction called electronic nose (e-nose) relies on an array of gas sensors with the capability of mimicking the human sense of smell. Applying...

This paper investigates the dynamic pricing strategies of firms selling complementary products in a marketing channel. The problem is modelled as a non-coo...

In this paper, we summarize some properties of the Cartesian product of graphs related to degree and distance-based invariants. Then, we investigate how mu...

This work describes the application of a direct search method to the optimization of problems of real industrial interest, namely three new material scien...

The effective management of call centers is a challenging task mainly because managers are consistently facing considerable uncertainty. Among important sour...

We propose a method to build trees and forests when the response is a non-homogeneous Poisson process with excess zeros, based on two forests. The first one...
