In decentralized control systems with linear dynamics, quadratic cost, and Gaussian disturbance (also called decentralized LQG systems) linear control strate...

A reliable and scalable mechanism to provide protection against a link or node failure has additional requirements in the context of SDN and OpenFlow. Not on...

Virtual metrology in quality control deals with drifts in product quality that occur during non-sampling periods. This approach enables a hundred percent con...

Facility location decisions play a critical role in transportation planning. In fact, it has recently become essential to study how such commitment integrate...

Until recently, graph coloring being a computationally difficult problem, completely dynamic channel allocation was not considered in large scale networks. T...

We consider an \(n\)-player game in coalitional form. We use the so-called \(\delta\) characteristic function to determine the strength of all possible c...

Credit spreads and CDS premiums are investigated before, during and after the financial crisis with a flexible credit risk model. The latter is designed to c...

This paper provides an investigation into an anomaly called a short squeeze, in the CBOT T-Bonds Futures Market, for the period spanning January 1985 to Se...

Oil industry plays currently a major role in the Canadian economy. In the future, further developments of the oil sector will be affected by the ability to t...

In this paper, we introduce the randomized Condorcet voting system. Our main contribution is to present it as a natural extension of Condorcet's ideas, hence...

Including employee preferences in a shift-scheduling scheme raises the question of how to aggregate employee satisfactions in a sensible manner. To do so, we...

In this paper, we propose a differential game model with a coupled constraint to represent the possible effects of climate agreements between industrialized,...

In this paper, we extend the classical market-share attraction model to a multi-category setting to include umbrella-branding spillover. Our starting conject...

The Tube Challenge consists of visiting all stations of the London Underground in the least possible time. The competition started in 1959 and the current r...

The airline crew scheduling problem has received extensive attention, particularly in the last sixty years. This problem is frequently divided into crew pair...

This report proposes two electricity pricing strategies for the Major of an American town of 16,000 people. An implementation with the AIMMS software is pres...

Various constrained problem formulations for the optimization of an electro-thermal wing anti-icing system in both running-wet and evaporative regimes are pr...

In many large engineering design problems, it is not computationally feasible or realistic to store Jacobians or Hessians explicitly. Matrix-free implementat...

In this paper, we introduce a new measure of social fairness based on unfairness feelings of the players involved in an allocation problem, e.g., cake-cuttin...

The distance signless Laplacian of a connected graph \(G\) is defined by \(\mathcal{D}^\mathcal{Q} = Diag(Tr) + \mathcal{D}\), where \(\mathcal{D}\) is...
