    • Modelling overfow using mixed integer programming in short‑term hydropower scheduling 

      Litlabø, Tormod; Aaslid, Per; Riise, Tarjei Lid; Haugland, Dag (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Short-term hydropower scheduling seeks to find a production schedule that maximizes profit, but must also consider the hydrological balance and risk of overflow. Overflow is by nature a non-linear and non-convex phenomenon. ...
    • Modelling the structure, function and evolution of Polycomb/Trithorax Response Elements 

      Bredesen, Bjørn Andre (Doctoral thesis, 2020-11-20)
      The correct development of animals and plants depends on carefully coordinated gene regulation. Polycomb/Trithorax Group (PcG/TrxG) proteins are conserved epigenetic regulators that are recruited to Polycomb/Trithorax ...
    • Models and Solution Methods for the Pooling Problem 

      Alfaki, Mohammed (Doctoral thesis, 2012-06-18)
      Pipeline transportation of natural gas is largely affected by restrictions regarding gas quality imposed by the market and the actual quality of the gas produced at sources. From the sources, gas flow streams of unequal ...
    • Modification to planarity is fixed parameter tractable 

      Fomin, Fedor; Golovach, Petr; Thilikos, Dimitrios M (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      A replacement action is a function L that maps each k-vertex labeled graph to another k-vertex graph. We consider a general family of graph modification problems, called L-Replacement to C, where the input is a graph G and ...
