We consider an analytical signal control problem on a signalized network whose traffic flow dynamic is described by the Lighthill-Whitham-Richards (LWR) model (Lighthill and Whitham, 1955; Richards, 1956). This problem explicitly addresses…
We consider the capacitated three-level lot-sizing and replenishment problem with a distribution structure (3LSPD-C), recently proposed in the literature. In 3LSPD-C, a single production plant delivers items to the warehouses from where…
We consider the following two deterministic inventory optimization problems over a finite planning horizon $T$ with non-stationary demands. (a) Submodular Joint Replenishment Problem: This involves multiple item types and a single retailer…
We consider the problem of learning optimal binary classification trees. Literature on the topic has burgeoned in recent years, motivated both by the empirical suboptimality of heuristic approaches and the tremendous improvements in…
The Sparse Approximation problem asks to find a solution $x$ such that $||y - Hx|| < \alpha$, for a given norm $||\cdot||$, minimizing the size of the support $||x||_0 := \#\{j \ |\ x_j \neq 0 \}$. We present valid inequalities for Mixed…
We consider several Vehicle Routing Problems (VRP) with profits, which seek to select a subset of customers, each one being associated with a profit, and to design service itineraries. When the sum of profits is maximized under distance…
Supply chain (SC) risk management is influenced by both spatial and temporal attributes of different entities (suppliers, retailers, and customers). Each entity has given capacity and lead time for processing and transporting products to…
The Multi-Objective Mixed-Integer Programming (MOMIP) problem is one of the most challenging. To derive its Pareto optimal solutions one can use the well-known Chebyshev scalarization and Mixed-Integer Programming (MIP) solvers. However,…
This paper introduces the two-level capacitated vehicle routing problem (2S-CVRP). This problem combines the two-level bin packing problem and the vehicle routing problem into an integrated framework. The problem itself is an NP-hard…
In the recent paper \cite{BDT10} we introduced a new problem that we call Bin Packing/Covering with Delivery, or BP/CD for short. Mainly we mean under this expression that we look for not only a good, but a "good and fast" packing or…
We introduce and study a class of optimization problems we coin replenishment problems with fixed turnover times: a very natural model that has received little attention in the literature. Nodes with capacity for storing a certain commodity…
This paper addresses the problem of motion planning for differential drive micro-mobility platforms. This class of vehicle is designed to perform small-distance transportation of passengers and goods in structured environments. Our approach…
Ridepooling services require efficient optimization algorithms to simultaneously plan routes and pool users in shared rides. We consider a static dial-a-ride problem (DARP) where a series of origin-destination requests have to be assigned…
In this paper, we present a novel approach for fleet sizing in the context of flash delivery, a time-sensitive delivery service that requires the fulfilment of customer requests in minutes. Our approach effectively combines individual…
We study the complexity of approximating the multimarginal optimal transport (MOT) distance, a generalization of the classical optimal transport distance, considered here between $m$ discrete probability distributions supported each on $n$…
Finding optimal join orders is among the most crucial steps to be performed by query optimisers. Though extensively studied in data management research, the problem remains far from solved: While query optimisers rely on exhaustive search…
Mixed integer bilinear programs (MIBLPs) offer tools to resolve robotics motion planning problems with orthogonal rotation matrices or static moment balance, but require long solving times. Recent work utilizing data-driven methods has…
Mobile parcel lockers have been recently proposed by logistics operators as a technology that could help reduce traffic congestion and operational costs in urban freight distribution. Given their ability to relocate throughout their area of…
In this paper, we develop a fast mixed-integer convex programming (MICP) framework for multi-robot navigation by combining graph attention networks and distributed optimization. We formulate a mixed-integer optimization problem for receding…
Order picking is the process of retrieving ordered products from storage locations in warehouses. In picker-to-parts order picking systems, two or more customer orders may be grouped and assigned to a single picker. Then routing decision…
