The aim of synthetic biology is to confer novel functions to cells by rationally interconnecting basic genetic parts into circuits. A key barrier in the design of synthetic genetic circuits is that only a qualitative description of the performance and interactions of the basic genetic parts is...

In this paper, we review recent advances in the distributional analysis of mixed integer linear programs with random objective coefficients. Suppose that the probability distribution of the objective coefficients is incompletely specified and characterized through partial moment information....

The Vickrey model, originally introduced in Vickrey (1969), is one of the most widely used link-based models in the current literature in dynamic traffic assignment (DTA). One popular formulation of this model is an ordinary differential equation (ODE) that is discontinuous with respect to its...

The consideration of external costs is becoming more important in supply network design, as companies are under increasing pressure to reduce the environmental and social impacts of their operations. This paper presents a single time period, single-product mixed integer linear programming...

In this paper, we consider a variant of the Pickup and Delivery Problem (PDP), where any demand may be dropped off elsewhere other than its destination, picked up later by the same or another vehicle, and so on until it has reached its destination. We discuss the complexity of this problem and...
