The semi-markovian population model introduced by Kao for the planning of progressive care hospitals is adapted to the prediction of nursing care demand at t...

This paper considers a version of the vehicle routing problem in which all vehicles are identical and where the distance travelled by any vehicle may not exc...

The space of ellipsoids may be metrized by the Hausdorff distance or by the sum of the distance between their centers and a distance between matrices. Vario...

Un modèle annuel de gestion optimale des matières premières pour une entreprise de métallurgie extractive est présenté et illustré. Ce modèle, basé sur une ...

The ellipsoid method is applied to the unconstrained minimization of a general convex function. The method converges at a geometric rate, which depends only...

Ce travail contient l'analyse des premiers résultats obtenus à l'aide du modèle MARKAL-QUEBEC, sur l'avenir du système de production et d'utilisation de l'én...

Le problème classique de l'industrie du papier consiste à générer un programme de coupe de façon à satisfaire les demandes des clients, tout en minimisant le...

A preventive replacement problem is formulated in discrete time for a multicomponent system having non identical elements. The components are assumed to be ...

The paper proposes a theory for two-player dynamic deterministic games where the players cannot make formal and unconditionally binding contracts, but can co...

This paper describes a successful application of classical inventory theory at a drug manufacturing plant located in Montreal, that has resulted in annual sa...

Les questions soulevées par le définition et l'évaluation des politiques de Recherche et Développement en matière d'énergie sont ici abordées selon une appro...

This paper is concerned with the extension to infinite-horizon open-loop differential games of the sufficient conditions for global-asymptotic-stability (CAS...

Models of optimal control of two-species ecological systems are considered on an infinite time horizon. Conditions are obtained under which the optimal expl...

When an electoral map is set up, various socio-economical, political and geographical parameters are taken into consideration. To evaluate the importance of...

This paper is concerned with large combinatorial problems for which no exact and efficient optimization technique exists. In order to estimate the exact opt...

La recherche effectuée actuellement par le GERAD dans le domaine de l'énergie porte sur l'intégration d'un ensemble de modèles permettant d'étudier l'évoluti...

The problem of controlling a population process, where each individual is a copy of the same fundamental Markov-core process, can be aggregated by considerin...

The information system presented in this guide, has been designed to estimate the nursing care demand generated by the population of a unit. This estimation...

Le système d'information PSI, présenté dans ce manuel, permet d'estimer la demande de soins infirmiers générée par la population d'une unité de soins sur un ...
