Anytime Lexicographic Enumeration of the Pareto Front in Multi‐Objective Combinatorial Optimisation

open access: yesJournal of Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis, Volume 33, Issue 1, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Multi‐objective combinatorial optimisation problems are widespread in real‐world scenarios, including resource allocation, scheduling and logistics, where multiple competing objectives need to be optimised simultaneously. In industrial contexts, lexicographic optimisation is often used to solve these problems, requiring the decision‐maker (DM)

Tractable but Hard to Approximate: The Bi‐Objective Minimum s$$ s $$‐t$$ t $$‐Cut Problem With Binary Capacities

open access: yesNetworks, Volume 87, Issue 3, Page 312-321, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The minimum s$$ s $$‐t$$ t $$‐cut problem is one of the most‐studied problems in discrete optimization and has a unique complexity status in multi‐objective optimization. Even though the single‐objective version of the problem can be solved in polynomial time, it has been shown in the seminal work of Papadimitriou and Yannakakis (2000) that ...

Social Sustainability in Chemical Engineering: Concepts, Methodologies, Challenges, and Integration Strategies

open access: yesSustainable Development, Volume 34, Issue 2, Page 2503-2519, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Chemical engineering faces an increasing imperative to integrate sustainability principles beyond traditional economic and environmental considerations. The social dimension—encompassing impacts on human well‐being, equity, community health, labor practices, and ethical governance—represents a critical yet often underdeveloped pillar within ...

Designing networks of freshwater and marine conservation areas accounting for cross‐realm connectivity and threat propagation

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 4, April 2026.
This study highlights the importance of integrating cross‐realm connectivity and threat propagation when designing new or expanding existing networks of conservation areas, such as the Natura 2000 European network of protected areas. These findings emphasize the need for multirealm planning that supports species persistence, protects transitional ...

On the Mean‐Field Limit of Consensus‐Based Methods

open access: yesMathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, Volume 49, Issue 5, Page 4214-4240, 30 March 2026.
ABSTRACT Consensus‐based optimization (CBO) employs a swarm of particles evolving as a system of stochastic differential equations (SDEs). Recently, it has been adapted to yield a derivative free sampling method referred to as consensus‐based sampling (CBS). In this paper, we investigate the “mean‐field limit” of a class of consensus methods, including
