This paper deals with the issue of deforestation, one of the main global environmental problems. We consider two players having different utilities for fores...

This paper describes a real-time fleet-management system for an underground mine. Dispatching, routing, and scheduling are handled simultaneously, taking...

This paper presents a solution approach for routing a fleet of automated vehicles on haulage networks having one-lane bidirectional road segments. The solu...

Generalized logical analysis aims at modelling complex biological systems, especially the so-called regulatory systems like genetic networks. The main feat...

This paper describes a method for evaluating the kinetic constants in a rate expression for catalytic combustion applications using experimental light-off c...

This paper deals with dispatching systems in open-pit mines. It illustrates the different strategies that exist for solving the dispatching problem and ana...

The operating schedule problem in open-pit mine can be associated with the problem of maximal closure on a graph. In the literature, the Lagrangian relaxati...

This note determines a rule to share a surplus gained when two countries or regions agree to coordinate their policies to reduce downstream pollution. An in...

The paper considers two neighboring countries wishing to make a joint effort to control pollution emission. We use a differential game model that includes ...

We study the problem of allocation over time of total cost incurred by countries in a cooperative game of pollution reduction. We compute the characteristi...

We study empirically the topology of the local minima of the 3-SAT problem. In particular, we analyze the size of the plateaus, their altitude, their attrac...

If it is assumed that the final product of bromination of C₆₀ will obey two rules, (i) that no two <i>sp</i>³ carbons may be adjacent,...

Optimal control problems for linear stochastic continuous time systems are considered, where the time domain is decomposed into a finite set of <i>N</i> dis...

We consider a managerial economics problem of controlling pollution caused by decentralised agents. We build a mathematical model for a local government ai...

A multistage supergame model for the management of a downstream pollution dispute between two neighouring regions is constructed. An important feature of th...

This paper is concerned with the problem of the management of pollution by a local government which aims at the achievement of certain environmental standa...

Cylindrical aromatic compounds - fullerenes and hydrocarbons - are about to become highly interesting objects of chemical research. A tubulene (tubular ben...

We consider the problem of defining a fair sharing of the total advantages gained by two regions (players) which decide to coordinate their environmental po...

In operations planning in an open pit mine an economic blocks model is generally used which attempts to determine which blocks will be extracted during each...

This paper deals with the modeling of economy-environment interactions for several countries which are assumed to behave competitively for the control of th...
