Mathematical Methods and Operation Research in Logistics, Project Planning, and Scheduling

In the last decade, the Industrial Revolution 4.0 brought flexible supply chains and flexible design projects to the forefront. Nevertheless, the recent pandemic, the accompanying economic problems, and the resulting supply problems have further increased the role of logistics and supply chains. Therefore, planning and scheduling procedures that can respond flexibly to changed circumstances have become more valuable both in logistics and projects. There are already several competing criteria of project and logistic process planning and scheduling that need to be reconciled. At the same time, the COVID-19 pandemic has shown that even more emphasis needs to be placed on taking potential risks into account. Flexibility and resilience are emphasized in all decision-making processes, including the scheduling of logistic processes, activities, and projects

Imposing connectivity in network design problems

Imposing connectivity arises in multiple real-world problems -- telecommunication network design, social network analysis, reserve network design, and redistricting to name a few. In network optimization, connectivity constraints are usually imposed in three spaces: (i) vertex space, (ii) edge space, and (iii) vertex-and-edge space. In this dissertation, we focus on imposing connectivity in the vertex and edge spaces. We study connectivity constraints in telecommunication and redistricting networks (both in the vertex space), revisit the spanning tree polytope in planar graphs (in the edge space), and conduct a polyhedral study of k connected components (in the vertex space)
