Robust defibrillator deployment under cardiac arrest location uncertainty via row-and-column generation

TCY Chan, ZJM Shen, A Siddiq - Operations Research, 2018 - pubsonline.informs.org
Sudden cardiac arrest is a significant public health concern. Successful treatment of cardiac
arrest is extremely time sensitive, and use of an automated external defibrillator (AED) …

Largest bounding box, smallest diameter, and related problems on imprecise points

M Löffler, M van Kreveld - Computational Geometry, 2010 - Elsevier
Imprecision of input data is one of the main obstacles that prevent geometric algorithms from
being used in practice. We model an imprecise point by a region in which the point must lie …

Solving chance-constrained optimization problems with stochastic quadratic inequalities

MA Lejeune, F Margot - Operations Research, 2016 - pubsonline.informs.org
We propose a new and systematic reformulation and algorithmic approach to solve a
complex class of stochastic programming problems involving a joint chance constraint with …

Minimax regret optimization analysis for a regional solid waste management system

NB Chang, E Davila - Waste Management, 2007 - Elsevier
Solid waste management (SWM) facilities are crucial for environmental management and
public health in urban regions. Due to the waste management hierarchy, one of the greatest …

A scenario planning approach for propositioning rescue centers for urban waterlog disasters

SL Hu, CF Han, LP Meng - Computers & Industrial Engineering, 2015 - Elsevier
An urban waterlog disaster can produce severe results, such as residents' property loss,
environmental damages and pollution, and even casualties. This paper presents a system …

Locating emergency facilities with random demand for risk minimization

MS Canbolat, M Von Massow - Expert Systems with Applications, 2011 - Elsevier
Locating emergency service facilities is a challenging problem. Planners do not know
specifically where emergencies will occur and, therefore, struggle to find a location that …

[HTML][HTML] One-dimensional k-center on uncertain data

H Wang, J Zhang - Theoretical Computer Science, 2015 - Elsevier
Problems on uncertain data have attracted significant attention due to the imprecise nature
of many measurement data. In this paper, we consider the k-center problem on one …

Minmax regret combinatorial optimization problems: an algorithmic perspective

A Candia-Véjar, E Alvarez-Miranda… - RAIRO-Operations …, 2011 - cambridge.org
Uncertainty in optimization is not a new ingredient. Diverse models considering uncertainty
have been developed over the last 40 years. In our paper we essentially discuss a particular …

Minimax regret single-facility ordered median location problems on networks

J Puerto, AM Rodríguez-Chía… - INFORMS Journal on …, 2009 - pubsonline.informs.org
We consider the single-facility ordered median location problem with uncertainty in the
parameters (weights) defining the objective function. We study two cases. In the first case …

Siting and routing assessment for solid waste management under uncertainty using the grey mini-max regret criterion

NB Chang, E Davila - Environmental Management, 2006 - Springer
Solid waste management (SWM) is at the forefront of environmental concerns in the Lower
Rio Grande Valley (LRGV), South Texas. The complexity in SWM drives area decision …
