Nous étudions l'évolution dans le temps d'une industrie oligopolistique, différenciée verticalement et horizontalement, où les entreprises d’un même groupe p...

In the Inventory Routing Problem customer demand is satisfied from inventory which is replenished with capacitated vehicles. The objective is to minimize tot...

Computational speed and global optimality are a key need for pratical algorithms of the OPF problem. Recently, we proposed a tight-and-cheap conic relaxation...

Multi-agent reinforcement learning has made significant progress in recent years, but it remains a hard problem. Hence, one often resorts to developing lea...

Nous proposons une méthode itérative pour la résolution de systèmes de point de selle symétriques qui exploite la tridiagonalisation orthogonale de Saunders,...

Nous proposons une méthode de régularisation pour les problèmes aux moindres carrés non linéaires avec contraintes d'égalité. Notre appliquons les approches...

In demand-response programs, aggregators balance the needs of generation companies and end-users. This work proposes a two-phase framework that shaves the ag...

We are interested in blackbox optimization for which the user is aware of monotonic behaviour of some constraints defining the problem. That is, when incr...

Nous assistons présentement à une accélération dans le développement des énergies renouvelables raccordées aux réseaux électriques. En raison des fluctuati...

Recommender systems make use of different sources of information for providing users with recommendations of items. Such systems are often based on collabor...

Given a set of duties to be operated over a cyclic one-week horizon and groups of drivers with similar characteristics, the cyclic bus driver rostering probl...

The present work is in a context of derivative-free optimization involving direct search algorithms guided by surrogate models of the original problem. The...

We consider a personalized employee scheduling problem with characteristics present in retail stores consisting of multiple departments. In the setting under...

The purpose of this guide is to present steps and tools to establish a decision-aid process in an organization linked to public health. This decision-aid p...

Ce guide vise à présenter les différentes étapes et outils de mise en place d'un processus d'aide à la décision, au sein d'une organisation liée à la santé...

In the interest of full disclosure, the reader is advised that I am biased positively towards the book considered here as I have collaborated with its first ...

Smart homes have the potential to achieve efficient energy consumption: households can profit from appropriately scheduled consumption. By 2020, 35% of all h...

This is a two-part work. In Part I, low-cost and representative reduced-fidelity models of two versions of the HYDROTEL hydrological model are constructed, u...

Dealing with computationally-intensive calibration processes is still common in distributed hydrological modelling despite the computing power growth. Comput...

Des initiatives mal formulées sur la stratégie de planification des ports fait subir à la zone côtière tropicale des effets néfastes. Pour réduire ces effe...
