This paper is concerned with a <i>repair vs replacement</i> problem for a system observed in continuous time and subject to random failure. When the system ...

We present a modification of algorithm USA of Khilnani and Tse which is guaranteed to converge to the unique equilibrium solution from an arbitrary starting ...

This paper extends the existence results obtained in Ref. [2] to the case of infinite dimensional control problems with distributed and boundary control. By...

The optimal control of an infinite dimensional linear control system with unbounded time interval is considered. The results obtained are an extension to a ...

The concept of &#x3f5;-sequential Stackelberg equilibrium is introduced in the general framework of dynamic two-person games defined in the Denardo contracti...

This paper consists in a preliminary study for the assessment of the advantages and feasibility of a regionalized energy model for Canada, based on the MARKA...

In this report, we deal with the assessment of energy technologies using the MARKAL model. Severals methods of evaluating the relative merits of technologie...

The aim of this report is to present recent developments in the modelling of industrial energy use within a global energy system model for the Province of Qu...

This report presents, with great details, a model of crude oil refineries in Quebec. The modelisation was made inside the global energy model MARKAL and the...

This report presents technical and economic data describing electric generation technologies in the world and in Québec. The particular situation of Québec ...

This report presents and documents the process technologies (PRC) included in the energy model MARKAL-QUÉBEC. The most important characteristics of the ener...

This report gives a general presentation of the Québec energy system modelling realized through the MARKAL formalism, and aimed at the implementation of a sy...

Cet article décrit dive3rs types d'horaires de travail en vigueur dans les entreprises et les services publics, ainsi que les principales méthodes de recherc...

This paper examines a family of permutation problems on 0-1 matrices. These problems arise in scheduling and in archaeological seriation. Three exact algor...

This paper presents a survey of exact algorithms for various types of vehicle routing problems. Algorithms are divided into three main categories: direct s...

A Travelling Salesman Problem in a three-dimensional spatial domain is associated with a scheduling problem encountered in a flexible manufacturing cell incl...

One considers a differential game model of capitalism "à la Lancaster". Feedback Nash equilibria and Pareto optimal solutions are characterized under the as...

Le présent article décrit des méthodes algorithmiques de traitement des exigences rigides et souples dans certains problèmes complexes d'optimisation combina...

Various algorithms for numerical solutions of discounted stochastic games are presented. For zero-sum two-person games, the existing algorithms are compared...

This paper presents some preliminary results from an ongoing study of the impact of various operating scenarios on the construction and quality of reoutes in...
