Machine learning has shown great potential in various domains, but its appearance in inventory control optimization settings remains rather limited. We propose a novel inventory cost minimization framework that exploits advanced decision-tree based models to approximate inventory performance at...

This paper formulates a team orienteering problem with multiple fixed-wing drones and develops a branch-and-price algorithm to solve the problem to optimality. Fixed-wing drones, unlike rotary drones, have kinematic constraints associated with them, thereby preventing them to make on-the-spot...
