We study conflict and cooperation issues in a two-stage production system. The objective of the first stage is to minimize the sum of the completion times o...

Storage location assignment and interleaving policy are two closely related problems in warehousing management. This paper addresses the location assignmen...

Cet article dresse un portrait de l'état de la concurrence fiscale internationale par l'entremise i) de l'étude des taux d'impôt et autres caractéristiques...

In this paper, we examine sets of tools associated to modeling systems for mathematical programming which can be used to automatically detect the presence ...

We propose a new approach to solve the multi-objective portfolio selection problem in the presence of skewness. The selection of efficient portfolios require...

In previous work, bimatrix games were expressed as parametric linear mixed 0-1 programs and the <img src="/cgi-bin/mimetex.cgi?{\rm E}_\chi">MIP algorithm w...

This study examines simultaneously the effect of personal, contextual, and product-related factors on purchasing behaviour of fair-trade products. The resu...

Most Fleet Assignment Problem (FAP) formulations use a leg-based estimation of revenue loss to derive the passenger revenue component of their objective fu...

Consider a convex polygon <i>V_n</i> with <i>n</i> sides, perimeter <i>P_n</i>, diameter <i>D_n</i>, area <i>A_n</i>...

We present a model that rapidly finds an approximation of the expected passenger flow on an airline network, given forecast data concerning 1) the distribut...

This paper describes a Parallel Space Decomposition (PSD) technique for the Mesh Adaptive Direct Search (MADS) algorithm. MADS extends Generalized Pattern ...

The AutoGraphiX system (AGX 1 and AGX 2) for interactive, and for several functions automated, graph theory, discovers conjectures of algebraic or structura...

In many branch-and-price algorithms, the column generation pricing problem consists of computing feasible paths in a network. In this paper, we show how, in...

<p>Monte Carlo simulation is an incredibly versatile tool for studying complex stochastic systems. By replicating the simulation several times independent...

In this article, we derive the asymptotic distribution of residual autocovariance and autocorrelation matrices for a general class of multivariate nonlinea...

When constructing a metro alignment under a historical city centre, it is important to generate a cost effective path while maintaining a minimum distance be...

The exponential stability, and the static output feedback stabilization with an &#945;-stability constraint problems of continuous-time singular linear syste...

This paper deals with the class of continuous-time singular linear Markovian jump systems with totally and partially known transition jump rates. The fil...

In this paper, the problem of <img src="/cgi-bin/mimetex.cgi?H_\infty"> filtering for a class of discrete-time Markovian jump linear systems (MJLS) with par...

We identify the conditions under which a myopic pricing behavior could be a profit enhancing tool in the distribution channel. A channel member behaves myo...
