This paper deals with the robustness stabilizability of the class of linear systems with markovian jumping parameters and unknown but bounded uncertainties....

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

We consider a model of a flexible manufacturing system with failure-prone machines. The control variables are the rates of maintenance, repair, and product...

Routing models for packet-switched networks have traditionally been based on the assumption that the offered traffic is Poisson. This is unrealistic since ...

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

This paper reviews genetic algorithms and evolution systems and describes implementation of an evolution system to solve the QAP. Extensive search to select...

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> ...

A semimodule <i>M</i> over an idempotent semiring <i>P</i> is also idempotent. When <i>P</i> is linearly ordered and conditionnally complete, we call it a p...

In this paper we consider a periodic preventive maintenance, repair, and production model of a flexible manufacturing system with failure-prone machines. The...

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...

In this paper, we define expected reachability and reachable set for the class of piecewise linear deterministic systems. We develop formulas for calculatin...

We analyze the random number generators obtained by combining two or more multiple recursive generators. We study the lattice structure of such combined gen...

A multistage supergame model for the management of a downstream pollution dispute between two neighouring regions is constructed. An important feature of th...

This paper is concerned with the problem of the management of pollution by a local government which aims at the achievement of certain environmental standa...

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...

Consider an assignment problem in which persons are qualified for some but usually not all of the jobs. Moreover, assume persons belong to given seniority c...

Après une présentation générale du problème de Design d'Implantation d'Usine, un survol des différentes méthodes de solution est proposé. Ces méthodes peuve...

In this paper, we develop mathematical machinery for verifying that a broad class of general state space Markov chains reacts smoothly to certain types of p...

We study the generalization of Piyavskii's algorithm (1972), proposed by Mladineo (1986), for the global optimization of multivariate Lipschitz functions. I...
