Assessing second‐price auctions for parcel exchanges in last‐mile logistics
International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.Abstract The rapid growth of e‐commerce has led to multiple carriers operating in the same regions, creating opportunities for collaboration. However, logistics companies typically operate independently, leading to inefficiencies. Horizontal cooperation, where carriers share resources and infrastructure, can improve efficiency and reduce costs.

Tiering as a Stochastic Submodular Optimization Problem
CoRR, 2020 Tiering is an essential technique for building large-scale information retrieval systems. While the selection of documents for high priority tiers critically impacts the efficiency of tiering, past work focuses on optimizing it with respect to a static set of queries in the history, and generalizes poorly to the future traffic.

An optimization problem for continuous submodular functions [PDF]
Studia Universitatis Babes-Bolyai Matematica, 2021 "Real continuous submodular functions, as a generalization of the corresponding discrete notion to the continuous domain, gained considerable attention recently. The analog notion for entropy functions requires additional properties: a real function defined on the non-negative orthant of $\R^n$ is entropy-like (EL) if it is submodular, takes zero at ...

Naval Research Logistics (NRL), Volume 73, Issue 5, Page 743-763, August 2026.ABSTRACT This paper examines the impacts of Volume‐Based Procurement (VBP) policies on pharmaceutical supply chains, with a focus on the strategic behaviors of manufacturers. VBP aims to reduce costs and stabilize supplies by centralizing procurement through competition based on volumes and prices.

Entity Canonicalization Method Based on Dual-View Contrastive Learning and Submodular Optimization [PDF]
Jisuanji gongchengEntity redundancy, where multiple nodes represent the same real-world entity due to heterogeneous data sources or extraction errors, severely affects the quality and utility of Knowledge Graphs (KG). To address the problem of Entity Canonicalization (EC)

Naval Research Logistics (NRL), Volume 73, Issue 5, Page 810-835, August 2026.ABSTRACT We are concerned with the stability of a transferable‐utility cooperative (TU) game. First, the concept of core can be weakened so that the blocking of changes is limited to only those with multilateral backings. This principle of consensual blocking, as well as the traditional core‐defining one of unilateral blocking and one straddling in ...

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, Volume 11, Issue 3, Page 920-934, June 2026.ABSTRACT Networked control systems (NCSs) often suffer from performance degradation due to limited communication bandwidth, which can cause data transmission conflicts and packet loss. Existing scheduling strategies may fail to simultaneously meet the real‐time requirements and the importance of multisensor data, and they are particularly vulnerable ...

Sensor Array Design Through Submodular Optimization [PDF]
, 2019 © 1963-2012 IEEE. We consider the problem of far-field sensing by means of a sensor array. Traditional array geometry design techniques are agnostic to prior information about the far-field scene.

Assortative Matching on Income
Econometrica, Volume 94, Issue 3, Page 957-989, May 2026.We analyze marital matching on income using an extremely rich Dutch data set containing all income tax files over seven years. We develop a novel methodology that directly extends previous contributions to allow for highly flexible matching patterns. Investigating all marriages that took place between 2013 and 2019, we find that marital patterns are ...
