We study the problem of finding statistically distinct plans for stochastic task assignment problems such as online multi-robot pickup and delivery (MRPD) when facing multiple competing objectives. In many real-world settings robot fleets do not only need to fulfil delivery requests, but also have to consider auxiliary objectives such as...

In response to the urgent need for sustainable energy solutions and climate change mitigation, international agreements such as the Paris Agreement have been instrumental in advocating reduced greenhouse gas emissions. As the world shifts towards renewable energy sources and electrification, there arises a heightened challenge of increased...

Upper bounds for the kissing number can be written as a semidefinite program (SDP) through the Delsarte-Goethals-Seidel method for spherical codes. This thesis solves the resulting SDP with a cutting plane approach, in which a sequence of linear programs (LPs) is solved with the addition of linear constraints every round. We study the...

The world can’t keep up with its own data and therefore needs new ways to store it. Research is being done into new types of experimental data storage like DNA sampling or racetrack memory, which could completely revolutionize the way storage works. However, such storage media are prone to certain type of errors like deletion errors where...

Fractional-order dynamical networks are increasingly being used to model and describe processes demonstrating long-term memory or complex interlaced dependencies among the spatial and temporal components of a wide variety of dynamical networks. Notable examples include networked control systems or neurophysiological networks which are created...

The design of a guide-path map is a well-known problem in various industries, such as automated guided vehicle (AGV) systems, road networks, and train track design. Nowadays, designing a path map is a manual, time-consuming, and expensive process. The solutions often turn out to be far from optimal. Several approaches are known to generate path...

Although there is a common understanding that the use of variable renewable energy sources (VRES) is needed in our collective attempt to decarbonise society, the type of technology that we should deploy, and where is not so clear. Stakeholders from real-world projects use the outcomes from optimisation models to aid their decision-making process...

The energy transition is one of the major challenges of the 21st century, impacting the way energy is generated, conserved and consumed. Energy generation becomes more and more decentralised, intermittency and fluctuations suddenly are becoming topics of interest within day-to-day life and energy system operators are facing many new obstacles...

We present a learning method to learn the mapping from an input space to an action space, which is particularly suitable when the action is an optimal decision with respect to a certain unknown cost function. We use an inverse optimization approach to retrieve the cost function by introducing a new loss function and a new hypothesis class of...

Patients visiting a hospital for elective surgery often have multiple consultations with a surgeon before undergoing surgery. Hospitals discern between different types of consultations, and make a schedule allocating timeslots of outpatient department sessions to these different consultation types several weeks in advance. Changing the...

Collaboration is a key technique in modern supply chains, both for building trust with other companies, but also for reducing costs or maximizing profits. It is an approach which provides all involved parties with benefits that they could not possibly achieve on their own. Collaboration, however, requires abundant information, including...

The advent of elastic Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) enable Content Providers (CPs) to lease cache capacity on demand and at different cloud and edge locations in order to enhance the quality of their services. This article addresses key challenges in this context, namely how to invest an available budget in cache space in order to match...

Shared automated vehicles (SAV) are expected to become part of on-demand transport systems in the future. In an interurban context, SAV systems may potentially contribute to significantly improve the availability and quality of public transport. In this paper, we propose a flow-based integer programming approach to design and assess the...

Scheduling of airline maintenance tasks takes place in a disruptive environment. The stochastic arrival of non-routine maintenance tasks causes schedules to be adjusted continuously. Within this research a mixed integer linear programming model for airline maintenance task rescheduling in a disruptive environment is presented. Task scheduling is...

Zoetermeer is facing two challenges currently. The first is a housing program which is defined only at a superficial level. Secondly, the municipality has expressed the ambition to also take into account the migration of households, but has no data on which dwellings facilitate migrations the best. This research thus set out to first define the...

To detect faults in a system we can adopt an observer, designed for the healthy system, and monitor the discrepancy between actual and expected behaviour of the residual (difference between the system output and its estimate). To isolate faults, we can compute the invariant sets associated with each fault, and their projection in the residual...

This paper considers model predictive control for continuous piecewise affine (PWA) systems. In general, this leads to a nonlinear, nonconvex optimization problem. We introduce an approach based on optimistic optimization to solve the resulting optimization problem. Optimistic optimization is based on recursive partitioning of the feasible set...

This paper addresses the infinite-horizon optimal control problem for max-plus linear systems where the considered objective function is a sum of discounted stage costs over an infinite horizon. The minimization problem of the cost function is equivalently transformed into a maximization problem of a reward function. The resulting optimal...

EV Charging is expected to be a significant load on the grid in the future. But they can also be a part of the solution to grid violations. As the amount of renewable energy generation increases, there is a large amount of power flowing in the reverse direction in the distribution network, which is undesirable. To reduce this, EVs can charge at...
