Le changement climatique constitue un défi majeur du 21^e siècle. C'est un phénomène global, transfrontalier s'inscrivant dans un horizon de temps ...

Cloud Computing applications are inherently oriented to send and receive information between multiple virtual machines and geographically distributed users. ...

In this paper, we propose an algorithm to solve multi objective optimization problem where the objects under study are graphs. The proposed algorithm is des...

The Mesh Adaptive Direct Search algorithm (MADS) algorithm is designed for nonsmooth blackbox optimization problems in which the evaluation of the funct...

This paper proposes a dynamic game model of the process through which countries join international environmental agreements (IEAs). The model assumes that ...

Introduced during the late nineties of the last century, Variable Neighborhood Search (VNS) was first designed for solving specific problems in combinatorial...

Cloud Computing networks include software components, servers, routers, network links, and data center facilities. Thus, they require a meticulous design tha...

Column generation for solving linear programs with a huge number of variables alternates between solving a master problem and a pricing subproblem to add var...

We propose a new dynamic row/column management algorithm for the schedule of freight trains in a single/double track railway system. While many works have al...

Scheduling often plays an important role in vehicle routing. This paper describes several applications in which the author has been involved in recent years...

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

One of the major results announced in the static literature on the coordination of pricing decisions in bilateral monopolies states that vertical integrati...

Consider a scale that accepts three marbles of different weights. The scale only ranks the marbles, by indicating the heaviest, the lightest and the middle ...

The unit commitment problem is a fundamental problem in the operation of power systems. The purpose of unit commitment is to minimize the system-wide cost o...

We propose a stochastic dynamic program for valuing options on stock-index futures. The model accounts for deterministic, seasonally varying dividends gene...

We consider a differential game with a corrupt government and civil society as its players. We characterize open-loop and feedback Nash equilibria and find...

The ubiquity of cloud applications requires the meticulous design of cloud networks with high quality of service, low costs, and low CO₂ emissions...

This paper analyzes the coalitional Great Fish War model under the assumption that players differ in their time preferences and use different discount rate...

In <font size=2>[Wagneur, E., Linear Algebra and its Application, 435, 1786-1795, 2011]</font>, we show that any \(m\)-dimensional tropical torsion module...

Sustainable wind energy development takes into account socio-cultural variables that can be identified from citizens' concerns about the use of this renewabl...
