A private bad is a commodity that causes its owner disutility. This article studies the bilateral exchange of a bad for a good that provides utility. Conside...

In this study, the problem environment consists of two fast fashion retailing firms where one can obtain the other's selling data from an outside agent. The ...

We consider a dynamic marketing channel comprising of one manufacturer and one retailer, where consumer demand depends on price and on brand reputation. We...

Recently, two different copula-based approaches have been proposed to estimate the conditional quantile function of a variable \(Y\) with respect to a vect...

This paper proposes a multi-stage stochastic programming formulation based on affine decision rules for the reservoir management problem. Our approach seeks ...

The main objective of this paper is to explore deep decarbonization pathways for the Canadian energy sector that would allow Canada to participate in global ...

In this article we consider a difficult combinatorial optimization problem arising from the operation of a system for testing electronic circuit boards (EC...

The aim of this paper is to computationally compare several algorithms for the Minimum Cost Perfect Matching Problem on an undirected graph. Our work is moti...

Necessary and sufficient conditions are provided for the existence of a simple graph, or a simple connected graph with given numbers \(m_{ij}\) of edges ...

In this paper, we survey the literature applying viability theory to the sustainable management of renewable resources. After a refresher on the main conce...

We investigate the role of heterogeneous peer effects in encouraging healthy and sustainable lifestyles. Our analysis revolves around one of the largest an...

This paper addresses the solution of the capacitated minimum cost flow problem on a network containing \(n\) nodes and \(m\) arcs. Satisfying necessary ...

We propose an iterative method named LSLQ for solving linear least-squares problems \(A x \approx b\) of any shape. The method is based on the Golub and K...

Partially observed Mean Field Game (PO MFG) theory was introduced and developed in (Caines and Kizilkale, 2013, 2014, Şen and Caines 2014, 2015), where it i...

The object of study in the recent theory of Mean Field Games has been primarily large populations of agents interacting through a population dependent coupli...

This article discusses the problem of unloading a sequence of boxes from a single conveyor line with a minimum number of moves. The problem under study is ef...

This paper deals with a family of dynamic game models that represent schematically the interaction between groups of countries in achieving the necessary lim...

While the joint optimization of production and outbound distribution decisions in a manufacturing context has been intensively studied in the past decade, th...

The integration of biorefinery processes into existing pulp and paper mills has been identified as a promising avenue to maintain mills activities. It could ...

This paper proposes a multi-stage stochastic programming formulation for the reservoir management problem. Our problem specifically consists in minimizing th...
