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 ...

Generalized logical analysis aims at modelling complex biological systems, especially the so-called regulatory systems like genetic networks. The main feat...

This article describes a tabu search heuristic for the <i>Dial-a-Ride Problem</i> with the following characteristics. Users specify transportation requests ...

Lattice rules are among the best methods to estimate integrals in a large number of dimensions. They are part of the <i>quasi-Monte Carlo</i> set of tools. ...

In order to optimize revenue, service firms must integrate within their pricing policies the rational reaction of customers to their price schedules. In the...

The Analytic Center, Cutting Plane Method for Variational Inequalities with quadratic cuts, ACCPM-VI(quadratic cuts), was introduced in Denault and Goffin,...

A multivariate location model for cluster correlated observations is presented. An affine-invariant multivariate sign test for testing location is proposed...

The convergence theory of generalized pattern search algorithms for unconstrained optimization guarantees under mild conditions that the method produces a li...

The one-sided one sample problem with bivariate data is considered. A conditionally distribution-free sign test is proposed for that problem. This test is ...

The paper identifies conditions under which time-consistency and agreeability, two intertemporal individual rationality concepts, can be verified in linear-s...

In this study, we present a unified Bayesian approach to small area estimation of mean parameters in generalized linear models. The basic idea consists of in...

We introduce a cutting plane, analytic center algorithm for strongly monotone variational inequalities (VIs). The approach extends that of Goffin, Marcotte...
