In the paper a model problem for the location of a given number $N$ of points in a given region $\Omega$ and with a given resources density $\rho(x)$ is considered. The main difference between the usual location problems and the present one…
Same-day deliveries (SDD) have become a new standard to satisfy the "instant gratification" of online customers. Despite the existing powerful technologies deployed in last-mile delivery, SDD services face new decision-making challenges…
Regularization is a central tool for addressing ill-posedness in inverse problems and statistical estimation, with the choice of a suitable penalty often determining the reliability and interpretability of downstream solutions. While recent…
Hub Covering Problems arise in various practical domains, such as urban planning, cargo delivery systems, airline networks, telecommunication network design, and e-mobility. The task is to select a set of hubs that enable tours between…
With the escalating demand for meal delivery services, this study delves into the Meal Delivery Routing Problem (MDRP) within the context of last-mile logis-tics. Focusing on the critical aspects of courier allocation and order fulfillment,…
The issues in air traffic control have so far been addressed with the intent to improve resource utilization and achieve an optimized solution with respect to fuel comsumption of aircrafts, efficient usage of the available airspace with…
We present a fast, flexible heuristic for setting up warehouse locations for quick commerce businesses, with the goal of serving the largest number of customers under the constraints of delivery radius and maximum daily deliveries per…
Tanker-based distribution systems have been prevalent in developing countries to supply clean and pure water in different regions. To efficiently operate such tanker service systems, a large fleet of tanker trucks are required to transport…
The goal of robust motion planning consists of designing open-loop controls which optimally steer a system to a specific target region while mitigating uncertainties and disturbances which affect the dynamics. Recently, stochastic optimal…
In this paper we investigate the problem of order batching for picker routing. Our approach is applicable to warehouses (storage areas) arranged in the standard rectangular grid layout, so with parallel aisles and two or more cross-aisles.…
The recovery of society after a large scale disaster generally consists of two phases, short- and long-term recoveries. The problem of short-term recovery is rather close to the problem of resilience in their goal, namely, bouncing the…
We consider the problem of constructing public facilities, such as hospitals, airports, or malls, in a country with a non-uniform population density, such that the average distance from a person's home to the nearest facility is minimized.…
Network congestion often hinders the deployment of reserves needed to balance forecast errors during real-time operations. A pertinent idea to tackle this challenge involves adding deployment scenarios of spatial distributions of forecast…
Modern logistics systems worldwide are facing unprecedented challenges due to the explosive growth of e-commerce, driving the need for resilient systems to tackle problems such as vulnerable supplies, volatile demands, and fragile…
In horizontal collaborations, carriers form coalitions in order to perform parts of their logistics operations jointly. By exchanging transportation requests among each other, they can operate more efficiently and in a more sustainable way.…
Facility location decisions significantly impact customer behavior and consequently the resulting demand in a wide range of businesses. Furthermore, sequentially realized uncertain demand enforces strategically determining locations under…
Recovery of society after a large scale disaster generally consists of two phases, short- and long-term recoveries. The main goal of the short-term recovery is to bounce the damaged system back to the operating standards enabling residents…
Today's global supply chains face growing challenges due to rapidly changing market conditions, increased network complexity and inter-dependency, and dynamic uncertainties in supply, demand, and other factors. To combat these challenges,…
Logistic regression models are widely used in the social and behavioral sciences and in high-stakes domains, due to their simplicity and interpretability properties. At the same time, such domains are permeated by distribution shifts, where…
The Container Relocation Problem (CRP) is concerned with finding a sequence of moves of containers that minimizes the number of relocations needed to retrieve all containers, while respecting a given order of retrieval. However, the…
