The rise in efficiency of Satisfiability Modulo Theories (SMT) solvers has created numerous
uses for them in software verification, program synthesis, functional programming …

Conventionally, power flow equations are used for distribution systems (DS) analysis to find
the nodal voltages. For the particular form of the DS reconfiguration problem, however, a …

Time-sensitive electricity prices (as part of so-called demand-side management in the smart
grid) offer economical incentives for large industrial customers. In part I of this paper, we …

The design of resilient supply chains under the risk of disruptions at candidate locations for
distribution centers (DCs) is formulated as a two-stage stochastic program. The problem …

This paper addresses the modeling of crude oil operations in refineries assuming that all
