In this work, a Mixed-Integer Linear Programming (MILP) model for daily routing of trucks in forest industry is presented. The aim is to generate truck routes at minimum cost, while logs supply is guaranteed. Models usua...

In this article, we address the design of hydrogen supply chains for vehicle use with economic and environmental concerns. Given a set of available technologies to produce, store, and deliver hydrogen, the problem consis...

We introduce the use of a global, nonlinear price function in linear programming and the simplex method. The usual, linear price function of this method captures the objective's behaviour over the cone of directions defi...

This paper analyzes the procedure used by FIFA up until 2018 to rank national football teams and define by random draw the groups for the initial phase of the World Cup finals. A predictive model is calibrated to form a ...

Due to the impact of crude oil prices on refinery revenues, the petroleum industry has switched to processing lowcost crude oils. They are blended with high-quality crude oils to feed the crude distillation units (CDUs) ...

The operational efficiency of fleet aircraft employed for student flight training in collegiate aviation programs is strongly influenced by scheduling, among other factors. The average utilization rate for the fleet oper...

Transit agencies that operate battery-electric buses must carefully manage fast-charging infrastructure to extend daily bus range without degrading on-time performance. To support this need, we propose a mixed-integer li...

This paper addresses two shortcomings of the data-driven stochastic fundamental diagram for freeway traffic. The first shortcoming is related to the least-squares methods which have been widely used in establishing traff...

With the fast development of civil aviation, large number of flights operate in major airports in rush hour. Extreme natural disasters, terrorism, and incidents may interrupt its normal operation, even lead temporary clo...

As Public Transport (PT) becomes more dynamic and demand-responsive, it increasingly depends on predictions of transport demand. But how accurate need such predictions be for effective PT operation? We address this quest...

This work proposes a novel approach for the optimal design of multiproduct supply chain networks (SCN). Through a mixed integer linear programming (MILP) formulation the aim is to establish the structure of facilities th...

Indonesia’s power sector is still dominated by fossil fuels, which makes it difficult for the country to meet its climate goals. This study develops an integrated modeling framework to evaluate long term decarbonizatio...

This study aims to examine the improvement of students' self-efficacy in the linear program after learning model of learning problem based learning (PBL) and conventional learning in terms of overall and KAM (high, mediu...

Source-grid-load-storage coordinated operation control is an operation mode and technology that can maximize the utilization of energy resources, and can economically, efficiently and securely improve the power dynamic b...

Taxi systems are transitioning into a complex integration of autonomous and human-driven vehicles powered by heterogeneous energy sources. Traditional operational strategies designed for homogeneous fleets fail to captur...

El problema de clasificación o separación de patrones ocurre cuando después de realizar una serie de medidas en un individuo u objeto, se lo desea asignar a alguna categoría, basando la decisión en las mediciones ef...

This clearly written , mathematically rigorous text includes a novel algorithmic exposition of the simplex method and also discusses the Soviet ellipsoid algorithm for linear programming; efficient algorithms for network...

A nonlinear (nonconvex) programming model provides a new definition of efficiency for use in evaluating activities of not-for-profit entities participating in public programs. A scalar measure of the efficiency of each p...

A new approach to optimizing or hedging a portfolio of financial instruments to reduce risk is presented and tested on applications. It focuses on minimizing Conditional Value-at-Risk (CVaR) rather than minimizing Value-...
