This paper proposes a methodology for evaluating and selecting R&D projects in a collective decision setting, especially useful at sectorial and national levels. It consists of two major phases: Evaluation and Selection. The evaluation process repeatedly uses mathematical programming models to...

We revisit the simplicial approximation scheme of [43, 44, 45] with a new randomized approach for selecting the grid points of the Bellman function’s piecewise linear approximation in a stochastic dynamic programming model for multireservoir optimization. Unlike the previous approach that...
