: In this paper we describe the use of a set covering model with additional constraints for scheduling train drivers and conductors for the Dutch railway operator NS Reizigers. The schedules were generated according to new rules originating from the project "Destination: Customer" ("Bestemming:...

This paper presents a linear reliability-based model as an extension of the well-known linear location set covering problem (LSCP) for emergency service vehicles such as ambulances. Linear programming models have a practical advantage over other nonlinear or queuing-based models. They can be...

This paper examines the computational complexity certification of the fast gradient method for the solution of the dual of a parametric convex program. To this end, a lower iteration bound is derived such that for all parameters from a compact set a solution with a specified level of...
