The convex octagon with unit diameter and maximum perimeter is determined. This answers an open question dating from 1922. The proof uses geometric reasonin...

A survey is made of the AutoGraphiX (AGX) research program for computer as- sisted and, for some functions, automated graph theory.

The authors study the application of the bootstrap to a class of estimators which converge at a nonstandard rate to a nonstandard asymptotic distribution. T...

The Team Orienteering Problem (TOP) is the generalization to the case of mul- tiple tours of the Orienteering Problem, known also as Selective Traveling Sal...

We modify an existing model of climate and economy to address the effect of uncer- tain, threshold events on the choice of optimal emissions control policy....

Earth observation satellites are platforms equipped with optical instruments that orbit the Earth in order to take photographs of specific areas at the requ...

Usual graph classes, such as complete graphs, paths, cycles and stars, frequently appear as extremal graphs in graph theory problems. Here we want to turn t...

This paper proposes a two-player, finite-horizon differential game model to analyze joint implementation in environmental projects, one of the flexible mech...

Installment options are a generalization of compound options, where the holder periodically decides whether to keep an option alive or not by paying the ins...

In this paper, we derive the asymptotic distribution of residual autocovariance matrices in the class of vector autoregressive models with explanatory varia...

Given the sets of flights and aircraft of an airline carrier, the fleet assignment problem consists of assigning the most profitable aircraft type to each f...

The increase of bandwidth demand for new Internet applications suggests mapping directly IP over the WDM layer. Since reliability is such a critical issue i...

The <i>p</i>-median problem is one of the basic models in discrete location theory. As with most location problems, it is classified as NP-hard, and so, heu...

We investigate the effects of a price cap regulation on the consumer’s surplus within the framework of two gas ownership structures. In the case of a firm o...

The paper examines shelf-space allocation and pricing decisions in the marketing channel as the results of a static game played à la Stackelberg between two...

In the last two decades, various studies developed static and dynamic game theory models to demonstrate that the efficiency of marketing channels can be rai...

We consider the problem of traffic grooming of low-rate traffic circuits in WDM rings where circuits are associated with a set of heterogeneous granularitie...

We consider a crew scheduling problem with preferential bidding in the airline industry. We propose a new methodology based on a graph coloring model and a ...

Column generation has proven to be efficient in solving the linear programming relaxation of large scale instances of the Multiple-Depot Vehicle Scheduling ...

Given the flight schedule of an airline, the fleet assignment problem consists of determining the aircraft type to assign to each flight leg in order to max...
