Cluster Analysis is at the crossroad of many disciplines, and has numerous and diverse methods and applications. Mathematical Programming (together with gra...

Several heuristic methods have been developed to solve the location-allocation problem in continuous space. Typically, these algorithms attempt to move in d...

In this paper we consider the daily aircraft routing and scheduling problem (DARSP). It consists of determining daily schedules which maximize the anticipat...

We present a recent optimization approach that can be applied equally to aircraft routing, crew pairing generation and bidding/rostering problems arising in...

L'entreposage partagé, contrairement à l'entreposage dédié, permet qu'un emplacement du palettier reçoive des unités de différents produits ou classes de pr...

The purpose of this paper is to develop optimal tool partitioning policies and strip sequencing strategies for a class of flexible manufacturing problems su...

There are several routing and scheduling problems faced by airline companies, notably, aircraft scheduling, pairing generation and crew bidding and rosterin...

The multi-source Weber problem requires locating <i>m</i> new facilities in continuous space in order to minimize a sum of transportation costs to <i>n</i> ...

Ce document porte sur la fonction entreposage en général et sur les méthodes de rangement en particulier. Il est divisé en deux chapitres. Dans le premier c...

Nous avons procédé à des tests afin de vérifier l'applicabilité de la méthode proposée par Langevin et al (1994). Cette méthode a pour objectif la détermin...

Global optimization methods aim at finding the global optimum of a nonlinear and nonconvex function subject to nonlinear and nonconvex constraints. The main...

An overview is given, with new results, of mathematical models and algorithms for probabilistic logic, probabilistic entailment and various extensions. Anal...

Examination timetabling is an important operational problem in many schools, colleges and universities. The authors have developed a computerized examinatio...

Given a set of logical sentences together with probabilities that these sentences are true, the probabilistic satisfiability (PSAT) problem consists, in it...

A count of Kekulé structures for all 1812 distinct fullerene isomers of C₆₀ shows that 20 isomers surpass the count of 12500 for icosahedral C<su...

This paper presents methods to determine the optimal transfer batch sizes of various part types between two machines so as to minimize the sum of the total ...

This paper presents a new approach for planning the dispatching, conflict-free routing, and scheduling of automated guided vehicles in a flexible manufactur...

Crew-Opt is a set-covering method that uses column-generation to produce nearly optimal solutions to crew scheduling problems. We presented this method at t...

We consider the problem of finding a shortest path for a car-like robot (approximated by a point) maneuvering around obstacles. This robot is capable of for...

This survey paper describes the significant advances made in time constrained vehicle routing and crew scheduling problems. In terms of solution methodolog...
