Pricing American Options by Exercise Rate Optimization [PDF]
We present a novel method for the numerical pricing of American options based on Monte Carlo simulation and the optimization of exercise strategies. Previous solutions to this problem either explicitly or implicitly determine so-called optimal exercise ...

Sufficient pruning conditions for MINLP in gas network design
One-quarter of Europe’s energy demand is provided by natural gas distributed through a vast pipeline network covering the whole of Europe. At a cost of 1 million Euros per kilometer the extension of the European pipeline network is already a multi ...

Bilevel programming for price-based electricity auctions: a revenue-constrained case
This paper describes the application of bilevel programming to a class of real-life problems in the field of electric power systems. Within the context of electricity markets, market-clearing procedures, i.e., auction models, are used by an independent ...

Optimal Release Time Decision from Fuzzy Mathematical Programming Perspective
Demand for high software reliability requires rigorous testing followed by requirement of robust modeling techniques for software quality prediction. On one side, firms have to steadily manage the reliability by testing it vigorously, the optimal release

Observation thinning in data assimilation computations
We propose to use an observation-thinning method for the efficient numerical solution of large-scale incremental four- dimensional (4D-Var) data assimilation problems.

Complementarity-based nonlinear programming techniques for optimal mixing in gas networks
We consider nonlinear and nonsmooth mixing aspects in gas transport optimization problems. As mixed-integer reformulations of pooling-type mixing models already render small-size instances computationally intractable, we investigate the applicability of ...

Many real-world optimization models comprise nonconvex and nonsmooth functions leading to very hard classes of optimization models. In this article, a new interior-point method for the special, but practically relevant class of optimization problems with

The role of child language ability and parental mentalization in early child dysregulation
Abstract Dysregulation in early childhood is associated with increased vulnerability to psychopathology and poor psychosocial outcomes. While there is evidence that both child language ability and parental mentalization are associated with dysregulation in early childhood, there is little understanding of the relationships between these variables, and ...

Solving wind farm layout optimization with mixed integer programs and constraint programs
The wind farm layout optimization problem is concerned with the optimal location of turbines within a fixed geographical area to maximize profit under stochastic wind conditions. Previously, it has been modeled as a maximum diversity (or p-dispersion-sum)

A strategic approach for the ambulance covering of the province of Friesland [PDF]
In the summer of 1995 the University of Twente, commissioned by the Province of Friesland, carried out research into the consequences of alternative locations for ambulances.
