Concepts and analysis in facility location under uncertainty : applications to 1-median problem
(Bilkent University, 2001-08) -
Contextual learning for unit commitment with renewable energy sources
(IEEE, 2017)In this paper, we study a unit commitment (UC) problem minimizing operating costs of the power system with renewable energy sources. We develop a contextual learning algorithm for UC (CLUC) which learns which UC schedule ... -
Entanglement and its operational measure
(Springer, 2006)An operational representation of concurrence measuring the entanglement of bipartite systems by means of averages of basic observables is discussed. We prove the validity of this representation for bipartite systems with ... -
Essays on uncertainty
(Bilkent University, 2015)This dissertation consists of three essays on the real impacts of uncertainty shocks. The first essay develops a theoretical model to investigate the impact of financial market uncertainty on real economic downturns. The ... -
Expected Scott-Suppes utility representation
(Academic Press, 2018)We provide an axiomatic characterization for an expected Scott-Suppes utility representation. Such a characterization is the natural analog of the von Neumann-Morgenstern expected utility theorem for semiorders and it is ... -
Five essays on monetary policy applications in an open economy under economic uncertainty and shocks
(Bilkent University, 2004)In this dissertation, we analyzed the monetary policy applications under uncertainty and shocks and their effects on the economy. The uncertainties we concern are inflation uncertainty and exchange rate risk, whereas the ... -
Hedging production schedules against uncertainty in manufacturing environment with a review of robustness and stability research
(Taylor & Francis, 2009)Scheduling is a decision-making process that is concerned with the allocation of limited resources to competing tasks (operations of jobs) over a time period with the goal of optimising one or more objectives. In theory, ... -
The impact of uncertainty on investment : overview
(Bilkent University, 2009)Common consensus in the real option literature is that there is a negative relationship between uncertainty and investment. One of the explanations can be stated that the increased in uncertainty leads to move up the ... -
Is Roger Federer more loss averse than Serena Williams?
(Routledge, 2017)Using data from the high-stakes 2013 Dubai professional tennis tournament, we find that, compared with a tied score, (i) male players have a higher serve speed and thus exhibit more effort when behind in score, and their ... -
Knowledge, uncertainty, and behavior
(1985) -
Optimization of schedule stability and efficiency under processing time variability and random machine breakdowns in a job shop environment
(John Wiley & Sons1520-6750 (online), 2012)The ability to cope with uncertainty in dynamic scheduling environments is becoming an increasingly important issue. In such environments, any disruption in the production schedule will translate into a disturbance of the ... -
Predicting optimal facility location without customer locations
(ACM, 2017-08)Deriving meaningful insights from location data helps businesses make better decisions. One critical decision made by a business is choosing a location for its new facility. Optimal location queries ask for a location to ... -
Privacy-preserving collaborative analytics of location data
(Bilkent University, 2017-09)Deriving meaningful insights from location data helps businesses make better decisions. While businesses must know the locations of their customers to perform location analytics, most businesses do not have this valuable ... -
The robust spanning tree problem with interval data
(Elsevier, 2001)Motivated by telecommunications applications we investigate the minimum spanning tree problem where edge costs are interval numbers. Since minimum spanning trees depend on the realization of the edge costs, we de5ne the ...
