Optimizing an objective function under a bivariate probability model
The motivation of this paper is to obtain an analytical closed form of a quadratic objective function arising from a stochastic decision process with bivariate exponential probabi...

The stochastic location model with risk pooling
In this paper, we present a stochastic version of the Location Model with Risk Pooling (LMRP) that optimizes location, inventory, and allocation decisions under random parameters ...

Incorporating inventory and routing costs in strategic location models
We consider a supply chain design problem where the decision maker needs to decide the number and locations of the distribution centers (DCs). Customers face random demand, and ea...

Solving the short-term electrical generation scheduling problem by an adaptive evolutionary approach
In this paper, we introduce an adaptive evolutionary approach to solve the short-term electrical generation scheduling problem (STEGS). The STEGS is a hard constraint satisfaction...

Exact algorithms for procurement problems under a total quantity discount structure
In this paper, we study the procurement problem faced by a buyer who needs to purchase a variety of goods from suppliers applying a so-called total quantity discount policy. This ...

Tabu search and GRASP for the maximum diversity problem
In this paper, we develop new heuristic procedures for the maximum diversity problem (MDP). This NPhard problem has a significant number of practical applications such as environm...
