We propose a new generic flow formulation for Failure-Independent Path-Protecting (FIPP) <i>p</i>-cycles subject to multiple failures. While our new model re...

With the growing popularity of bandwidth demanding services such as HDTV, VoD, and video conferencing applications, there is an increasing demand on broadb...

This paper presents an analysis of a compiled database of power consumption and networking functionalities found in datasheets of routers and switches of so...

We consider a Closed-loop supply chain (CLSC) with a single manufacturer and a single retailer. We characterize and compare the feedback equilibrium resul...

Under some standard market assumptions, evaluating a derivative implies computing the discounted expected value of its future cash flows. In that context, th...

We study call routing policies commonly used in call centers with multiple call types and multiple agent groups. We propose a new weight-based routing polic...

A significant game-theoretic literature on the coordination of distribution channels has developed over the past three decades. We provide an extensive analy...

The complex epidemiology of vector-borne diseases creates significant challenges in the design and delivery of prevention and control strategies, especially ...

In an onshore oil field, the productivity of oil wells decreases when they require maintenance. To restore full productivity at a well, it must be visi...

We introduce a signless Laplacian for the distance matrix of a connected graph, called the <i>distance signless Laplacian</i>. We study the <i>distance signl...

We introduce a Laplacian for the distance matrix of a connected graph, called the <i>distance Laplacian</i> and we study its spectrum. We show the equivalenc...

In this paper, we present the PolyMAX module which enhances ns-2 (network simulator 2), the most popular network simulator used in academia, to provide one o...

Finding communities, or clusters, or modules, in networks can be done by optimizing an objective function defined globally and/or by specifying conditions wh...

Clusterwise regression is a clustering technique where multiple lines or hyperplanes are fit to mutually exclusive subsets of a dataset such that the sum of ...

We consider a duopoly competing in quantity, where firms can invest in both innovative and absorptive R&D to reduce their unit production cost, and where t...

We investigate the dynamic effect that the Tandroy's unsustainable practices have on the forest. The Tandroy people lives in Androy, a region located in th...

In 1956, Nordhaus and Gaddum gave lower and upper bounds on the sum and the product of the chromatic number of a graph and its complement, in terms of the or...

It is shown that parametric bootstrap can be used for computing P-values of goodness-of-fit tests of multivariate time series parametric models. These mo...

This paper presents a system architecture for demand side load management in the Smart Grid, which is composed of three main modules for admission control, l...

The Job Grouping Problem consists of assigning a set of jobs, each with a specific set of tool requirements, to machines with a limited tool capacity in orde...
