This paper deals with an application of the projective algorithm to the solution of a generic nondifferentiable minimization problem. This problem is closel...

This paper presents a linear programming model of the Quebec and New York State power systems which includes a detailed description of the different types o...

This paper deals with a stochastic optimal control problem where the randomness is essentially concentrated in the stopping time terminating the process. If...

The production scheduling problem considered in this paper is related to the planning of operations of a flexible manufacturing cell composed of a punch pres...

This note deals with the concept of stochastic equilibrium-programming <i>SEP</i> which has recently been proposed for the modeling of imperfect competition ...

This paper deals with an infinite-horizon discrete-event dynamic programming model with discounting, and with Borel state and action spaces. Instead of the ...

This paper addresses the problem of existence and computation of cooperative equilibria of discounted stochastic sequential games. The proposed approach con...

A model is presented for looking at the main characteristics of long term gas contracts. The problem is formulated as a dynamic stochastic multimarket model...

This paper deals with a class of discounted sequential games which admit of analysis through a contracting operator approach à la Denardo. These games appea...

This paper deals with a class of continuous time discounted models representing an incremental incentive scheme whereby a firm receives a premium if its curr...

This paper deals with the construction of cooperative equilibria for stochastic dynamic games, where the players cannot observe the actions of their opponent...

One considers a class of systems described by a set of state equations indexed over a finite set E. A random jump process with value in E represents the per...

The aim of this note is to show that the algorithm recently proposed by J. Bard (1983) is not guaranteed to converge to the desired solution of a Linear Two-...

This research deals with the Planning of Operation on a two-machine cell consisting of: a) a (NC) turret-mounted multi-tool punch, b) a (NC) shear. The cell...

The oil refining industry is an important part of the Canadian energy supply system which has to adapt itself to the new energy demand patterns emerging from...

This report presents the structure and the possible uses of a long range system analysis tool which models the evolution of the energy needs of the Canadian ...

This report deals with the long range modelling of energy needs in the cement industry. Starting from the analysis already performed for the Québec energy s...
