Kerckhoffs, L. (author)In this thesis, we take a look at the Asymmetrical Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem (ACVRP). We will take a look at different possible formulations for the problem and choose one based on the ease of implementation, the computation speed of solving it, and the available relaxations. The problem, and its relaxations, will be modeled and solved...bachelor thesis 2017

Gecmen, D. (author)The timetabling problem is known as a large class of problems that fall under the mathematical field of scheduling. A widely used method to solve timetabling problems is the integer linear programming method, which we have used to solve the open day timetabling problem. In this thesis we have addressed a timetabling problem for the open day at...bachelor thesis 2016

Vooijs, Irene (author)Dit project behandelt de programmering en toepassing van een taxiservice, waarbij de passagiers zich vanaf of naar het treinstation willen verplaatsen. Met behulp van geheeltallig lineair programmeren wordt bepaald welke ritten door de taxi's moeten worden gereden, om de winst te maximaliseren. Dit model is gebaseerd op het model wat beschreven...bachelor thesis 2017

Wanningen, Nicky (author)For scaling up the qubits in silicon quantum computers, it is vital to determine crosstalk effects that can lower the fidelity of the computer. <br/>In this computational project, we examine single-qubit gate-fidelities in the presence of crosstalk for uncoupled spin qubits that are driven with X-gates via electron dipole spin resonance (EDSR)....bachelor thesis 2022

Van der Geugten, G. (author)In this research we study some online learning algorithms in the online convex optimization framework. Online learning algorithms make sequential decisions where there is no information about the future events in time. To measure the success of a decision there is a (bounded) cost for each decision, which is revealed after every time step. The...bachelor thesis 2015

Bouwmeester, Marjolein (author)In this thesis, we propose two mixed integer linear program formulations for an optimization problem that incorporates annualized hours: an exact one and an approximation. The objective of our model consists of three weighted parts: a part which minimizes the difference between working hours and contract hours for each employee per week, a part...bachelor thesis 2019

van Arem, Koen (author)Tandem solar cells are a new type of solar cells that are currently being developed. Soms proporties of these solar cells are variable. In this scription, it is studied how genetic algoritms can be applied to optimize these tandem solar cells. Genetic algoritms are algorithms that find a good solution using the principles of evolution theory. It...bachelor thesis 2021

Bijmolt, M.J. (author)The development of dredging as a major player for surface mine applications has led Royal IHC, a large equipment supplier and consultant for dredging and mining operations, and the TU Delft to work on more advanced optimizations techniques for the design of dredge mines. Three implications of the design of a dredge mine were found to be crucial...bachelor thesis 2014

Boekel, Jasper (author)The primary goal of this work was to develop a model that solved the market clearing problem while abiding by all the special requirements set by the European power ex- changes. The methodology that we applied is derived from Madani and Van Vyve, who referred to it as the Primal-Dual approach. It is assumed that the optimal set of blocks for the...bachelor thesis 2021

van den Heuvel, Bram (author)The logistics industry is being modernized using information technology and robots. This change encompasses a new set of challenges in warehouses. Recently, some companies have started using robot fleets to sort products and parcels. This thesis studies those systems, and researches the combinatorial problems that arise within them. Three main...bachelor thesis 2018

Holtgrefe, Niels (author)In this thesis we analyse the class of <i>maximum coverage</i> problems. For all discussed problems, linear programs are formulated. Using the notion of <i>submodularity</i>, we prove that for the weighted version of the basic <i>Maximum Coverage</i> problem, where the weights differ per set, a polynomial-time greedy algorithm guarantees a (1 -...bachelor thesis 2021

Heslenfeld, Janne (author)Robust optimisation is shown to be extremely important in a wide range of applications including real life. Many research projects are dedicated to this relatively young and active research field and show the significant value of robust optimisation. Since many researchers have developed complex methods dedicated to robust optimisation, the aim...bachelor thesis 2021

Huibregtse, O.L. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author), Pel, A.J. (author), Bliemer, M.C.J. (author)A method is described to develop a set of optimal instructions to evacuate by car the population of a region threatened by a hazard. By giving these instructions to the evacuees, traffic conditions and therefore the evacuation efficiency can be optimized. The instructions, containing a departure time, a destination, and a route, are created...conference paper 2010

Arnold, M. (author), Negenborn, R.R. (author), Andersson, G. (author), De Schutter, B. (author)The optimal operation of an integrated electricity and natural gas infrastructure is investigated. The couplings between the electricity system and the gas system are modeled by so-called energy hubs, which represent the interface between the loads on the one hand and the transmission infrastructures on the other. To increase reliability and...conference paper 2009

Hamarat, C. (author), Kwakkel, J.H. (author), Pruyt, E. (author)Uncertainty manifests itself in almost every aspect of decision making. Adaptive and flexible policy design becomes crucial under uncertainty. An adaptive policy is designed to be flexible and can be adapted over time to changing circumstances and unforeseeable surprises. A crucial part of an adaptive policy is the monitoring system and...conference paper 2012
