Classical version of the neighborhood search based on exchange operation tests objective function of solution obtained by the exchange operation and depending on the objective function value decides on further progress. When a series of Pareto-optimal solutions of the p-location problem is determined, huge number of such operations must be tested and evaluated. As many of exchanges are repeated with the same consequence for the further progress, it is questionable whether the previously obtained information about their success can be taken into account in the decision process. In this contribution, we focus on answering this question. We perform the associated research of influence of information about previous success or failure on effectiveness of the neighborhood search application to determination of a set of Pareto-optimal solutions.

In today’s increasingly severe energy crisis, integrated energy systems have become an important way to solve the above problems because they can realize multi-energy complementarity and improve energy efficiency. The mathematical model of the integrated energy subsystem and the regional integrated energy system is constructed, and its objective function and constraints are analyzed, and then, based on the example, the data analysis of the operating costs of the multiple systems under the interactive operation mode and the independent operation mode is carried out. The results show that the system can save $6.61 \%$ of the total cost compared with the independent operation, which has better economic efficiency and energy utilization. By considering the changes in the costs of independent and interactive operation of the integrated district energy system at different confidence levels, it is concluded that the interactive operation mode is superior to the individual operation mode at any confidence level.

Electroencephalography (EEG) has a wide gamut of information, from subject identity to their emotional states encoded in it. Given a segment of the EEG signal, our study aims to identify the subject in a robust way using the EEGChannel-Net architecture. To achieve this goal, we add gaussian noise to the given 32-channel EEG signal, and minimize the ℓ 2 distance between embeddings of the original signal and that of the noisy signal in addition to the categorical cross entropy loss for classification of the 26 subjects in the dataset. Addition of noise to each channel at a fixed signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 15 dB gave the best balanced accuracy of 98.27% in the validation set. Our study concludes by justifying the optimality of the 15 dB SNR and highlights the superiority of our proposed objective function.

Secretary problem is one of the most widely studied online stochastic models, in which an employer wants to hire the best candidate from n candidates who arrive in a random order. It is well-known that the optimal success probability is 1/e. However, in reality, things are more complex because employers often have interviewers in different cities, interviewing candidates in a distributed manner. This motivates us to study the secretary problem with multiple queues. Feldman and Tennenholtz [EC 2012] studied this assuming the candidates are distributed evenly. In particular, when there are two even queues, the optimal success probability is 1/4. In this work, we move to the general problem when the queues are arbitrary and design the optimal online algorithm for the case of two queues. Our results characterize the exact success probability curve, connecting the cases of a single queue and two equal queues. Our technique is grounded on the linear programming framework introduced by Buchbinder et al. [Math. Oper. Res. 2014] and a novel analysis.

Medical data is a valuable resource that is under privacy constraints and often requires a substantial effort and cost to obtain. This is the case for physiological cardiovascular data that is among others utilized to develop assistive heart devices. In the present work, we aim to improve a GAN based generative approach from the literature by integrating physiological knowledge in form of pressure-value curves together with a dynamic time warping cost function into the model. We demonstrate that our adapted model generates more realistic cardiovascular signals as measured by targeted physiological markers and showcase that such generated signals can be used to improve a downstream task on real data.

Modern logistics is facing increasing challenges due to the growing complexity of supply chains, high consumer expectations, and economic and environmental pressures. While predictive analytics, powered by artificial intelligence (AI) and massive data, has transformed the ability to forecast trends and risks, its application remains limited by the lack of effective mechanisms to convert these predictions into actionable decisions in dynamic and constrained environments. This paper proposes an innovative hybrid approach that combines advanced predictive models, notably the Temporal Fusion Transformer (TFT), with prescriptive algorithms, such as linear programming and deep reinforcement learning (DRL). The TFT demonstrated superior performance in terms of predictive accuracy (significant reduction in MAE, RMSE, and MAPE), while the prescriptive algorithms optimized complex logistics decisions in real time, even in uncertain environments. This integrated methodology was validated through use cases simulating critical logistics scenarios, such as delivery route optimization. Experimental results show a substantial improvement in operational efficiency, with reductions in costs, lead times and resource utilization. The prescriptive approach made it possible to automate complex decisions, while taking into account multiple constraints, such as costs, lead times and sustainability objectives. By integrating real-time data collected via IoT devices and logistics management systems, this architecture offers a robust, adaptable and scalable solution. It thus meets the requirements of modern logistics by enabling proactive, optimized and resilient decision-making. This research makes a significant contribution by bridging the gap between predictive and prescriptive analysis, while laying the foundations for new applications in the field of intelligent logistics.

In many countries, including the UK, the majority of domestic sows are housed in farrowing crates during the farrowing and lactation periods. Such systems raise welfare problems due to the close confinement of the sow. Despite the fact that many alternative housing systems have been developed, no commercially viable/feasible option has emerged for large scale units. Current scientific and practical knowledge of farrowing systems were reviewed in this study to identify alternative systems, their welfare and production potential. The aim was to establish acceptable trade-offs between profit and welfare within alternative farrowing systems. linear programming (LP) was used to examine possible trade-offs and to support the design of welfare-friendly yet commercially viable alternatives. The objective of the LP was to optimise the economic performance of conventional crates, simple pens and designed pens subject to both managerial and animal welfare constraints. Quantitative values for constraints were derived from the literature. The potential effects of each welfare component on productivity were assessed by a group of animal welfare scientists and used in the model. The modelled welfare components (inputs) were extra space, substrate and temperature. Results showed that, when using piglet survival rate in the LP based on data drawn from the literature and incorporating costs of extra inputs in the model, the crates obtained the highest annual net margin and the designed pens and the pens were in second and third place, respectively. The designed pens and the pens were able to improve their annual net margin once alternative reference points, following expert-derived production functions, were used to adjust piglet survival rates in response to extra space, extra substrate and modified pen heating. The non-crate systems then provided higher welfare and higher net margin for sows and piglets than crates, implying the possibility of a win-win situation.

The decentralized architecture of blockchain tech-nology introduces various challenges, particularly in Proof of Stake (PoS) networks, where malicious nodes can undermine the consensus process and threaten the integrity of the network. Nodes with significant stakes may disproportionately influence validation, weakening the network's decentralization. Despite ongoing advancements in blockchain security, there remains a notable gap in research on the integration of artificial intelli-gence (AI) and optimization techniques for enhancing blockchain security. This paper proposes an approach, utilizing a CatBoost classifier optimized with a modified Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm, designed specifically for this study. A compar-ative analysis, performed on a real-world dataset, demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed method, with the most accurate models achieving an accuracy of 87.13%. The findings highlight the potential of AI -driven optimization in improving blockchain security. Future research will focus on the application of AI and optimization techniques to further refine blockchain protocols, enhance detection and prevention of security threats, and improve overall network performance.
