Coping Uncertainty in Wireless Network Optimization
Network optimization plays an important role in 5G/next-G networks, which requires knowledge of network parameters (e.g., channel state information). The majority of existing works assume that all network parameters are either given a prior or can be accurately estimated. However, in many practical …

Distribution network optimization in the uniform rental industry
Optimization models are a commonly used tool to identify cost efficient network flows. Complexity increases when various products move across different paths and transportation modes within one network. To address the challenges posed by this complexity, this thesis develops a mixed integer linear …
