A general framework to evaluate different rebalancing operations strategies in one-way car sharing systems

Michel Bierlaire, Nikola Obrenovic, Selin Ataç

Car sharing systems (CSSs) are one of the environmentally beneficial solutions in urban transportation. However, the operators still struggle to make these systems profitable. One of the main contributors in operational cost is rebalancing operations. Ther ...

Optimization Over Banach Spaces: A Unified View on Supervised Learning and Inverse Problems

Shayan Aziznejad

In this thesis, we reveal that supervised learning and inverse problems share similar mathematical foundations. Consequently, we are able to present a unified variational view of these tasks that we formulate as optimization problems posed over infinite-di ...

Property FW, differentiable structures and smoothability of singular actions

Yash Lodha, Nicolas Matte Bon

We provide a smoothening criterion for group actions on manifolds by singular diffeomorphisms. We prove that if a countable group Gamma has the fixed point property FW for walls (for example, if it has property(T)), every aperiodic action of Gamma by diffe ...

Integration of passenger satisfaction in railway timetable rescheduling for major disruptions

Stefan Yves Gabriel Binder

Unexpected disruptions occur for many reasons in railway networks and cause delays, cancellations, and, eventually, passenger inconvenience. This thesis focuses on the railway timetable rescheduling problem from a macroscopic point of view in case of lar ...
