In this paper, we introduce a general framework for vector space decompositions that decompose the set partitioning problem into a reduced problem, defined...

Inspired by successful biological collective decision mechanisms such as honey bees searching for a new colony or the collective navigation of fish schoo...

We consider a linear-state dynamic game played over an event tree and determine analytically the price of anarchy (PoA), as well as lower and upper bounds ...

In this paper, we show that cooperative outcomes in a dynamic game played over an event tree can be supported strategically, that is, to be part of a subga...

We use a newly developed model of the entire Canadian energy system (TIMES-Canada) to assess the climate change mitigation potential of different agri-food c...

The vehicle routing problem with time windows (VRPTW) consists of finding least-cost vehicle routes to satisfy the demands of customers that can be visited...

The subdifferential of a function is a generalization for nonsmooth functions of the concept of gradient. It is frequently used in variational analysis, part...

Inventory routing problems aim at minimizing the cost of the total distance traveled over a time horizon discretized in periods, while guaranteeing that th...

This paper introduces the pickup and delivery problem with time windows and handling operations. In this problem, the loading compartment of a vehicle is mod...

We study the impact of timing and commitment on adaptation and mitigation policies in the context of international environmental problems. Adaptation polic...

Variable neighborhood search (VNS) is a framework for building heuristics, based upon systematic changes of neighborhoods both in a descent phase, to find a...

For a Neoclassical growth model, exponential discounting is observationally equivalent to quasi-hyperbolic discounting, if the instantaneous discount rate ...

The integral simplex using decomposition (ISUD) algorithm <font size=2>[Zaghrouti, A., Soumis, F., Elhallaoui, I.: Integral simplex using decomposition for t...

Thermoforming process is a technique widely used in the plastic industry. This process involves three stages: i) sheet heating, ii) forming, and iii) cooling...

Given a flight schedule and a set of aircraft of different types, the airline fleet assignment problem (FAP) consists of assigning an aircraft type to each f...

We model and solve the problem of sequencing a set of jobs with specified processing times and tool requirements on a set of identical parallel machines. D...

This paper presents a numerical investigation of the non-hierarchical formulation of Analytical Target Cascading (ATC) for coordinating distributed multidisc...

Reforming energy consumption subsidies, in particular for fossil fuels, has been frequently referred to as a quick-win policy to enhance environmental miti...

In this tutorial, we recall the main ingredients of the theory of dyamic games played over event trees and show step-by-step how to build a sustainable coo...

The tail assignment problem is a critical part of the airline planning process that assigns specific aircraft to sequences of flights, called lines-of-flight...
