The fare planning problem for public transport is to design a system of fares that maximize the revenue. We introduce a nonlinear optimization model to approach this problem. It i...
Continuous-variable simulation optimization problems are those optimization problems where the objective function is computed through stochastic simulation and the decision variab...
The algorithmic framework developed for improving heuristic solutions of the new version of deterministic TSP [Choi et al., 2002] is extended to the stochastic case. To verify the...
