5G and its Economic Aspects - Literature Review and Selection of a Connection Portfolio Under Risk
(Master thesis, 2017)In this master s thesis we explain how 5G is currently defined, identify the most important economic aspects of 5G, and formulate an optimization planning problem for a mobile network operator operating in the 5G context, ... -
A Column Generation Heuristic for the Dynamic Rebalancing Problem in Bike Sharing Systems
(Master thesis, 2018)This thesis examines the dynamic rebalancing of a bike sharing system (BSS). A BSS is a service where bicycles are made available to users on a short-term basis. However, imbalanced systems is a significant challenge and ... -
A Comparative Analysis of Price Drivers of Day-Ahead Electricity Prices in EPEX and Nord Pool
(Master thesis, 2016)European energy markets have undergone, and will continue to undergo, large changes in coming years, as the share of renewable energy power production increases and markets become more interconnected. We analyze the ... -
A decomposition solution approach to the troops-to-tasks assignment in military peacekeeping operations
(Master thesis, 2018)Military peacekeeping operations are becoming increasingly complex, while at the same time facing stricter budgetary restrictions. It is therefore imperative, now more than ever, to have good operation plans that utilize ... -
A Distributed Algorithm for Large-scale Stochastic Optimization Problems
(Master thesis, 2016)This thesis presents a parallel algorithm for non-convex large-scale stochastic optimization problems, specifically scenario-based two-stage stochastic mixed-integer nonlinear programming problems. The method is called the ... -
A Dynamic ARMA-GARCH Model: Forecasting Returns and Trading at the Oslo Stock Exchange
(Master thesis, 2018)This study aims to contribute to the existing literature in three ways. Firstly, we try to highlight the dynamic forecasting model behaviour, by investigating the values of the forecasting model's input parameters - the ... -
A Heuristic Approach to Creating an Annual Delivery Program for an LNG Producer with Transshipment
(Master thesis, 2018)In this thesis, an Annual Delivery Program (ADP) planning problem is studied. The objective of the ADP planning problem is to create a cost-efficient delivery schedule for a liquefied natural gas (LNG) producer, who has a ... -
A Heuristic Approach to the Two-Dimensional Roll-on Roll-off Liner Shipping Stowage Problem
(Master thesis, 2016)Roll-on/Roll-off (RoRo) ships represent the primary source for transporting vehicles and other types of rolling material over long distances. In this master thesis, we focus on operational decisions related to stowage of ... -
A Matheuristic Approach For Planning Interrelated Voyages With Separation Requirements In Maritime Transportation
(Master thesis, 2018)Roll-on/Roll-off (RoRo) vessels represent the primary source for transport- ing vehicles and other types of rolling material over long distances. How- ever, comparatively little operational research has been done on RoRo ... -
A matheuristic for the inventory routing problem with divisible pickup and delivery
(Master thesis, 2018)The management of reverse logistics has received growing attention in recent years due to new regulations, environmental aspects and an eagerness to obtain further operational benefits. Reverse logistics can be modeled as ... -
A Multi-Horizon Stochastic Programming Approach to Optimal Component Sizing for The Strategic Microgrid Design Problem
(Master thesis, 2017)This thesis studies the strategic microgrid design problem, and suggests a multi-horizon stochastic programming approach aiming to provide decision makers with valuable insights into the optimal component sizing in a ... -
A Multistage Stochastic Optimization Model for Trading on the German Intraday Power Market
(Master thesis, 2018)As the German Intraday power market has grown steadily over the last seven years, the academic and commercial interest in mathematical optimization of decision making related to the market has grown. The relevant decisions ... -
A New Optimization-based Algorithm for a Maritime Inventory Routing Problem
(Master thesis, 2016)Maritime transportation has a long tradition of taking a dominant role in the global trade. Remarkable improvements in the efficiency of maritime transportation have been made in the last 50 years, but still significant ... -
A Price-Based Algorithm for Multi-Player Equilibrium Problems
(Master thesis, 2015)This thesis is about improving the solution time for energy market equilibrium models. Equilibrium models have seen an increased usage over the last years, and the models used for numerical analysis are growing larger and ... -
A Profit Maximisation Model for Operation of a Tidal Lagoon Power Plant - Determination of Optimal Operational Schedule and Potential Value Added by Integration in a High Intermittent Power System
(Master thesis, 2016)A stochastic profit maximisation model for operation of a tidal lagoon power plant including production head effects, power market prices and start-up costs is developed. The model is formulated as a two-stage stochastic ... -
A Qualitative Study of Improvement and Knowledge Transfer in Norwegian Public Hospitals
(Master thesis, 2015)The Norwegian health care system is in rapid transformation. Changes in demography and lifestyle impose new challenges, and advances in technology and research have made more diagnoses and conditions treatable. Simultaneously ... -
A quantitative approach to asset allocation and trading
(Master thesis, 2012)This thesis evaluates and verifies technical trading strategies and risk management tools on the behalf of Holden Capital AS. The strategies are quantitatively formulated by constructing a complete base trading model. The ... -
