In this article, we optimally solve an integrated production and material handling scheduling problem. Traditionally, scheduling problems consider machines a...

The aim of this paper is to present efficient algorithms for the detection of multiple targets in noisy images of a torus. The algorithms are based on the ...

Hypermetric inequalities have many applications, most recently in the approximate solution of max-cut problems by linear and semidefinite programming. Howeve...

We develop and analyze parallelization strategies for the Variable Neighborhood Search (VNS) meta-heuristic applied to the <i>p</i>-median problem. The stra...

Dans une rubrique de la Revue Française de Recherche Opérationnelle intitulée <i>Problèmes plaisans et délectables</i> en hommage à l'oeuvre du 17ème siècle ...

Albertson (1997) defines the <i>imbalance</i> of an edge (<i>i,j</i>) in <i>E</i> of a graph <i>G</i> = (<i>V,E</i>) as | <i>d_i - d_j</...

The airline revenue management problem can be decomposed into four distinct but related sub-problems that are usually treated separately: demand forecasting...

The Travelling Salesman Problem (TSP) is a well-researched problem whose interest lies well beyond the Icosian game or the Knight's tour puzzle. In this pap...

This paper describes a real-time fleet-management system for an underground mine. Dispatching, routing, and scheduling are handled simultaneously, taking...

The aim of this paper is to present efficient algorithms for the detection of multiple targets in noisy images. The algorithms are based on the optimal filte...

In the Black-Scholes framework, the American option pricing problem can be discretized into a finite-dimensional linear complementarity problem. We compare t...

In CDMA mobile networks, callers that are transmitting through a power station may cause interference at other power stations. When many users are already c...

This paper studies the duality gap in the simple plant location problem, and presents general formulas for the gap when certain complementary slackness cond...

This paper presents a solution approach for routing a fleet of automated vehicles on haulage networks having one-lane bidirectional road segments. The solu...

The paper analyzes a differential game model of a two-member marketing channel. A manufacturer invests in national advertising with the purpose of improving ...

After a short historic review, we briefly describe a new algorithm for constructive enumeration of polyhex and fusene hydrocarbons. In this process our alg...

La majorité des auteurs traitant du problème de design d'implantation d'usine considèrent que la sélection de la configuration du réseau de manutention est f...

Le texte qui suit est l'allocution donnée par le professeur Jacques Desrosiers à la Société Royale du Canada, le jeudi 14 novembre 2002, à l'Université du Qu...

Installment options are Bermudan-style options where the holder periodically decides whether to exercise or not and then to keep the option alive or not (by ...

The 18^th EURO Summer/Winter Institute (ESWI XVIII) took place during the spring 2000 in Switzerland. The topic of ESWI XVIII, "Meta-heuristics in ...
