In this paper, the general problem of chemical process optimization defined by a computer simulation is formulated. It is generally a nonlinear, non-convex,...

This paper argues that the literature applying differential games in economics and management science has aimed to a large extent for analytical results. On...

We consider two overlapping generations that want to coordinate their strategies of working, consuming and controlling pollution. As the cooperative solution...

In this paper, we model a two-period electricity market with interrelated demand, where oligopolistic generators make investments in peak- and base-load capa...

In this paper, we study optimal economic growth programs coupled with climate change dynamics. The study is based on models derived from MERGE, a well estab...

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....

<p> This paper introduces the Mesh Adaptive Direct Search (MADS) class of algorithms for nonlinear optimization. MADS extends the Generalized Pattern Searc...

Using a two-player differential game approach, this paper deals with the issue of tropical deforestation. The assumption is that developing forestry countri...

The Atlantic thermohaline circulation (THC) is an important component in the climate system because it strongly influences conditions in the North Atlantic ...

Chemical graphs, as other ones, are <i>regular</i> if all their vertices have the same degree. Otherwise, they are <i>irregular</i> and it is of interest to...

This paper presents an enumeration algorithm based on dynamic programming for optimally solving the fleet management problem in underground mines. This probl...

We consider a game where players face environmental constraints. We derive and compare noncooperative, cooperative and umbrella scenarios. In the latter, the...

This paper presents an overview of the modeling approaches that are used to represent, understand and control the interactions between the economy of a regio...

Dantzig-Wolfe decomposition and column generation, devised for linear programs, is a success story in large scale integer programming. We outline and relate ...

The fleet management problem discussed in this paper consists in assigning the best routes to a set of vehicles in an underground mine haulage network. The h...

This paper presents two solution approaches for taking into account the displacement mode (forward or in reverse) of vehicles during the solution of the shor...

Cet article propose un modèle d’optimisation des stratégies de maintenance pour une meilleure intégration dans un plan de production préétabli. Le modèle est...

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...
