Climate change is one of the greatest challenges facing our planet in the foreseeable future and despite the urgency of the situation global GHG emissions ...

In this paper we establish the definition of the <i>set of &epsilon;-proper equilibria</i> of a bimatrix game. We define a 0-1 mixed quadratic program to ge...

Dans cet article, on raconte l'histoire de l'équipe GENCOL et du logiciel d'optimisation du même nom. C'est avant tout le récit d'une collaboration qui se po...

Traditionally, the airline crew scheduling problem has been decomposed into a crew pairing and a crew assignment problem that are solved sequentially. The f...

The main goal of this paper is to bring a contribution in order to facilitate automatic refinement of Bimatrix Game Nash extreme equilibria. We show how maxi...

We introduce the OPAL framework in which the identification of good algorithmic parameters is interpreted as a black box optimization problem whose variables...

Recent advances in coupling novel optimization methods to large-scale computing problems have opened the door to tackling a diverse set of physically realist...

In several companies such as large retail stores, the employees perform different activities (e.g., cashier or clerk in a specific department) to respond to ...

Relationships between the diameter of a set of <i>n</i> points in the plane at mutual distance at least one, the diameter of an equilateral <i>n</i>-gon and ...

We present a new general variable neighborhood search approach for the uncapacitated single allocation <i>p</i>-hub median problem in networks. This NP-hard ...

In this paper, we propose a generic model based on linear programming that allows building an optimal production plan for a work shift in an open-pit mine. T...

Cet article propose une nouvelle architecture générique pour l'implantation d'un système intelligent de contrôle en temps réel basé sur la simulation dans de...

In this paper, we study the split delivery vehicle routing problem with time windows SDVRPTW that is a variant of the well-known vehicle routing problem with...

The modularity maximization model proposed by Newman and Girvan for the identification of communities in networks works for general graphs possibly with loop...

A new hierarchical divisive algorithm is proposed for identifying communities in complex networks. To that effect, the definition of <i>community in the weak...

Using the AutoGraphiX system, we obtain conjectures of the form <img src="/cgi-bin/mimetex.cgi?l(n) \leq q_1 \oplus i(G)\leq u(n)"> where <img src="/cgi-bin...

Let <i>G</i> be a connected graph of order <i>n</i>. The algebraic connectivity of <i>G</i> is the second smallest eigenvalue of the Laplacian matrix of <i>G...

A crew pairing is a sequence of flights, connections and rests that start and end at a crew base and is assigned to a single crew. The crew pairing problem c...

This intentionally short tutorial is an introduction to the main features of AMPL that are relevant to nonlinear optimization model authoring. Pointers are g...

We consider a two-player asymmetric differential game of pollution control. One player is non-vulnerable to pollution, or unwilling to consider damages when ...
