— We describe a stochastic optimization method that can be used to solve inverse problems in epidemic modelling. Although in general it cannot be expected that these inverse prob...
Discrete-time optimal control problems arise naturally in many economic problems. Despite the rapid growth in computing power and new developments in the literature, many economic...
Recently, simulation-based methods have been successfully used for solving challenging stochastic optimization problems and equilibrium models. Here we report some of the recent p...
This contribution deals with scheduling problems of flexible chemical batch processes with a special emphasis on their real-time character. This implies not only the need for suff...
In a facility with front room and back room operations, it is useful to switch workers between the rooms in order to cope with changing customer demand. Assuming stochastic custome...
