Economic Dispatch Problems (EDP) refer to the process of determining the power output of
generation units such that the electricity demand of the system is satisfied at a minimum cost …

Literature reviews represent a key genre for preserving and develo** knowledge in many
scientific fields, including the operations research (OR) discipline. Although the body of OR …

Fog computing system is an emergent architecture for providing computing, storage, control,
and networking capabilities for realizing Internet of Things. In the fog computing system, the …

Convexity is a simple and natural notion which can be traced back to Archimedes (circa 250
BC), in connection with his famous estimate of the value of π (by using inscribed and …

Due to the limitations associated with the processing capability of mobile devices in cloud
environments, various tasks are offloaded to the cloud server. This has led to an increase in …

Recently, machine learning, particularly message-passing graph neural networks (MPNNs),
has gained traction in enhancing exact optimization algorithms. For example, MPNNs speed …

First-order primal-dual methods are appealing for their low memory overhead, fast iterations,
and effective parallelization. However, they are often slow at finding high accuracy solutions …

In the humanitarian context, two-stage stochastic programming is of special interest as it
allows for modeling uncertainties and time-dependent decisions. Since natural disasters are …

We address the robust vehicle routing problem with time windows (RVRPTW) under
customer demand and travel time uncertainties. As presented thus far in the literature, robust …

This work considers secure downlink transmission in indoor multiple-input, single-output
visible-light communication (VLC) links. In particular, we study the design of transmit …
