Development of every society is incumbent upon energy sector’s technological and economic effectiveness. The electricity industry is a growing and needs to have a better performance to effectively cover the demand. The industry requires a balance between cost and efficiency through careful design and planning. In this paper, a two-stage stochastic programming model is presented for the design o...

In today’s competitive business environment, the design and management of supply chainnetwork is one of the most important challenges that managers encounter. The supply chain network shouldbe designed for satisfying of customer demands as well as minizing the total system costs. This paper presentsa multi-period multi-stage supply chain network design problem under demand uncertainty. The prob...

We consider a rich tanker trailer routing problem with stochastic transit times for chemicals and liquid bulk orders. A typical route of the tanker trailer comprises of sourcing a cleaned and prepped trailer from a pre-wash location, pickup and delivery of chemical orders, cleaning the tanker trailer at a post-wash location after order delivery and prepping for the next order. Unlike traditiona...

Conventional location recommendation models rely on users’ visit history, geographical influence, temporal influence, etc., to infer users’ preferences for locations. However, systematically modeling a location’s context (i.e., the set of locations visited before or after this location) is relatively unexplored. In this paper, by leveraging the Skipgram model, we learn the latent representation...

the stochastic reaction diffusion systems may suffer sudden shocks‎, ‎in order to explain this phenomena‎, ‎we use markovian jumps to model stochastic reaction diffusion systems‎. ‎in this paper‎, ‎we are interested in almost sure exponential stability of stochastic reaction diffusion systems with markovian jumps‎. ‎under some reasonable conditions‎, ‎we show that the trivial solution of stocha...
