We calibrate Linear and Mixed Integer Programs with a bi-level estimator, minimizing under First-order-conditions (FOC) conditions a penalty function considering the calibration fit and deviations from given parameters. To deal with non-convexity, a heuristic generates restart points from...

Global farmland biodiversity has declined rapidly in recent decades due to the homogenization of agricultural landscapes, including an increase in field sizes and decrease in woody features, such as hedgerows. Restructuring landscapes by (re)introducing woody features and decreasing field sizes...

The increased use of renewable energies promotes decarbonization and raises the load on power distribution networks, forcing responsible distribution network operators to re-evaluate and re-design their networks. Infrastructure planners employ a rolling-horizon planning procedure with frequent...

While the decarbonization of the electricity sector is proceeding globally with the ongoing increase of wind and solar generation, reducing the carbon footprint of other sectors such as industry, transportation, and agriculture proves more challenging. One reason is the challenge of electrifying...
