In this paper, we propose the modification of an existing Multi-Objective Evolutionary
Algorithm (MOEA) known as Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm-II (NSGA-II). The …

Resource scarcity is a global challenge, especially in E-mobility. Currently, Electric vehicles
(EVs) are considered as an attractive option on a pathway towards low emission mobility …

Due to the rapid growth of e-mobility, increasing amounts of lithium-ion batteries are
produced and returned after their lifetime. However, these returns will lead to new …

We analyse a principal-agent contracting model with asymmetric information between a
