The GRIEG model is a hybrid model of demo-economic projections that combines two approaches: the econometric approach - based on the micro-economy - of the N...

Les outils informatiques de capture en temps réel (Scriptlog, inputlog ou Eye and Pen) procurent des données d'une qualité inégalée (par les autres méthodes)...

Community detection in networks based on modularity maximization is currently done with hierarchical divisive or agglomerative as well as with partitioning h...

Heuristics are widely applied to modularity maximization models for the identification of communities in complex networks. We present an approach to be appli...

We present a new class of dynamic bargaining problems, called "bargaining problems with intertemporal maximin payoffs," that may reflect sustainability probl...

We develop a contingent claims model of a firm in financial distress with a formal account for renegotiations under the Chapter 11 bankruptcy procedure. Sh...

We consider derivative-free optimization, and in particular black box optimization, where the functions to minimize and the functions representing the con...

Umbrella branding is a strategy that consists in using the same name to market different products which may, or may not, be related. The purpose of this pape...

A branch and bound strategy is proposed for solving the clusterwise regression problem, extending Brusco's repetitive branch and bound algorithm (RBBA). The ...

Accurate measurements of snow water equivalent (SWE) is an important factor in managing water resources for hydroelectric power generation. SWE over a catchm...

We explore the role of the discount on closed-end funds (CEFD) in asset pricing and weakly tests its validity as a proxy for sentiment in the Canadian stock ...

We present a three-stage method using mathematical-programming techniques for finding high-quality solutions to the multi-floor facility layout problem. The...

This paper provides a general procedure for pricing American- and European-style interest rate derivatives within multifactor affine term structure models....

Le but de cet article est de décrire et de résoudre un nouveau et important problème auquel font face les compagnies maritimes spécialisées dans le transport...

The risk-adjusted selection and timing performance (alphas and gammas) of a comprehensive and survivorship-free sample of Canadian equity SRI funds after (be...

We propose a modified primal-dual interior-point method for nonlinear programming that relaxes the requirement of closely following the central path and lend...

In the context of algorithmic parameter optimization, there is much room for efficient usage of computational resources. We consider the OPAL framework in wh...

We propose a conceptually simple, finite simplicial branch-and-bound algorithm for minimizing a concave function over a polytope. The proposed algorithm req...

We prove here a tropical version of the well-known Whitney embedding theorem (1944) stating that a smooth <i>m</i>-dimensional compact manifold can be e...

In this paper we study a variant of the Capacitated Team Orienteering Problem (CTOP), that is the problem where a fleet of vehicles, each with a constraint...
