A decomposition method is proposed for minimizing quadratic pseudoboolean functions. The result is: minimum of <i>f</i> = &#x2211;^p<sub><i>i</i>=...

Nous analysons dans cette thèse le marché européen du gaz naturel et les échanges d'électricité entre réseaux interconnectés dans le cadre de la théorie des ...

This note deals with the concept of stochastic equilibrium-programming <i>SEP</i> which has recently been proposed for the modeling of imperfect competition ...

The urban transit crew scheduling problem arises in mass transit corporations who have to create minimal cost bus driver schedule respecting both the collect...

In the analysis of discrete event systems, we need to consider sequences and/or matrices of elements in a given numerical set <i>D</i> (&#x2115;, Z, Q or &#x...

This paper deals with an infinite-horizon discrete-event dynamic programming model with discounting, and with Borel state and action spaces. Instead of the ...

Old and new algorithms for the Maximum Satisfiability problem are studied. We first summarize the different heuristics previously proposed, i.e. the approxi...

In this paper, I give a counterexample to the closedness property of the set of possible current production vectors <i>Y_f</i> which is used by J....

Energy problems began a few years ago to receive proper treatment, but they are still most of the time dealt with from the supply side. The present research...

This paper addresses the problem of existence and computation of cooperative equilibria of discounted stochastic sequential games. The proposed approach con...

A model is presented for looking at the main characteristics of long term gas contracts. The problem is formulated as a dynamic stochastic multimarket model...

This paper is concerned with the decisions (output decisions and associated sell-or-process-further decisions) that arise with joint products when the techno...

This paper deals with a class of discounted sequential games which admit of analysis through a contracting operator approach à la Denardo. These games appea...

This paper deals with a class of continuous time discounted models representing an incremental incentive scheme whereby a firm receives a premium if its curr...

La justification de l'investissement en automatisation flexible pose un problème d'information et de hasard moral. La grande difficulté est la quantificatio...

This paper deals with the construction of cooperative equilibria for stochastic dynamic games, where the players cannot observe the actions of their opponent...

This paper presents mathematical formulations for some vehicle routing and scheduling problems with time window constraints and the optimal solution approach...

One considers a class of systems described by a set of state equations indexed over a finite set E. A random jump process with value in E represents the per...

Nous présentons un aperçu des principales idées permettant la formulation du phénomène de négociation collective dans le langage de la théorie des jeux. Apr...
