A conic optimization problem is a problem involving a constraint that the optimization
variable be in some closed convex cone. Prominent examples are linear programs (LP) …

We study a service expansion problem for chained business facilities under endogenic
facility congestion and exogenous market competition. More specifically, we consider a …

We propose a new stochastic emergency network design model that uses a fleet of drones
to quickly deliver naloxone in response to opioid overdoses. The network is represented as …

This manuscript explores novel complexity results for the feasibility problem over $ p $-order
cones, extending the foundational work of Porkolab and Khachiyan. By leveraging the …

The service system design problem aims to select the location and capacity of service
facilities, and the assignment of customers to them in order to minimize the setup, access …

We propose a novel queueing optimization model for the design of a drone network
delivering automated external defibrillators in response to out-of-hospital cardiac arrests …

The main problem of failing to recognize the redundant DCCs and DCyCs is that current
solvers do not yet have the prepossessing capabilities to recognize those redundancies. As …
