This paper develops a novel hybrid framework that integrates clustering-enhanced Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) with stretching techniques to solve Markowitz's quadratic portfolio optimization problem. The proposed approach avoids local optima traps that plague traditional optimization...

Algorithms pose interesting challenges to competition law, particularly discussing which practices involving this fast-paced technologies may or should be caught under Article 101 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union ("TFEU"). As AI-driven pricing algorithms become increasingly...

Background: This paper investigates hybrid quantum-classical optimization approaches for addressing core supply chain management (SCM) problems. A unified hybrid framework is implemented and evaluated across five representative domains: vehicle routing, scheduling, facility location, inventory...

The increasing urgency of carbon footprint reduction in supply chain operations demands innovative optimization approaches that balance economic efficiency with environmental sustainability. This paper presents a novel carbon-aware route optimization framework that integrates machine...

This study proposes an optimized estimation approach for Self-Exciting Threshold Autoregressive (SETAR) models by integrating the Majorization-Minimization Group Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (MM-gLASSO) algorithm, with a primary focus on improving forecasting performance in...
