We consider a problem of groundwater management in which a group of farmers overexploits a groundwater stock and causes excessive pollution. A Water Agency...

In the absence of an international environmental agreement (IEA) on climate change, a country may be reluctant to unilaterally implement environmental acti...

We determine the threshold herd size at which a biomass waste to energy conversion system becomes commercially viable. The threshold herd size is found by ...

In this paper we address the problem of dimensioning infrastructure, comprising both network and server resources, for large-scale decentralized distributed...

Betweenness centrality was proposed about 35 years ago by Freeman. Since then, it was widely used mainly for analyzing social networks. According to <i>Web...

Dynamic constraint aggregation (DCA) and dual variable stabilization (DVS) are two methods that can reduce the negative impact of degeneracy when solvi...

In this paper, we derive and empirically test a regime-shifting dynamic term structure model for pricing interest rate caps. The central state variables are...

<p> <i>p</i>-Cycles have been extensively studied under a single link failure scenario. Even though not as common, single node failures may occur as well,...

Standard real options theory states that there is a value of waiting and that irreversible investment should be postponed when revenue is uncertain. Past lit...

Stochastic programming can yield significant savings over deterministic approaches. For example, the stochastic approach for the shift scheduling problem sol...

Dispersion problems consist of the selection of a fixed number of vertices from a given set so that some function of the distances among the vertices is maxi...

Since the late forties of the last century, methods of operations research have been extensively used to solve problems in graph theory, and graph theory has...

This paper generalizes the notion of <i>set of</i> &#949;<i>-proper equilibria</i> to polymatrix games. We use 0-1 mixed quadratic and linear programming op...

This paper sets two alternate denitions of Perfect Nash Equilibria for Polymatrix Games. We present two linear programming formulations to identify perfect...

We study the stability and the stability index of the meet game form defined on a meet semilattice. Given any active coalition structure, we show that the s...

The paper answers an open problem introduced by Bezdek and Fodor in 2000. The width of any unit-diameter octagon is shown to be less than or equal to `(\fra...

Current network planning and design methods use the average delay, packet loss and throughput as metrics to optimize the network cost and performance. New...

In IP-over-WDM networks, protection can be offered at the optical layer or at the IP layer. Today, it is well acknowledged that synergies need to be develope...

We present ACRE, an Automatic aspeCt cREator, to use aspect-oriented programming to test multi-platform software programs written in C++. ACRE allows devel...

This paper develops a dynamic risk management model to determine a firm's optimal risk management strategy. This strategy has two elements: first, for low ...
