This paper reviews state-of-the-art models and approaches for solving a wide variety of public transit problems encountered at the strategic, tactical, and...

The berth allocation problem is to allocate berths (i.e., sections of the quayside) to ships arriving in a container port in order to minimize the sum of the...

In order to achieve a successful implementation of electronic commerce (EC), it is necessary to "re-engineer" the logistics activities of the enterprise. Thi...

Ce document présente une revue de littérature sur la logistique inverse. Dans la littérature, plusieurs termes sont utilisés comme des synonymes, par exemple...

The paper addresses the problem of determining a retailer's optimal price promotions of two brands in a product category. A dynamic model is constructed, tak...

This paper deals with time-consistency and agreeability, two dynamic individual rationality concepts, in special linear-quadratic differential games. Condi...

Bimatrix and polymatrix games are expressed as parametric linear 0-1 programs. This leads to an algorithm for complete enumeration of their extreme equilibri...

We propose a numerical approach to compute stationary Markov perfect Nash equilibrium advertising strategies of Lanchester model. The algorithm can be implem...

A sizeable proportion of manufacturing expenses can be attributed to facility layout and material handling. Facility layout decisions involve designing the ...

Goal Programming with fractional objectives can be reduced to mathematical programming with a linear objective under linear and quadratic constraints, thus...

This paper deals with the issue of shelf-space allocation and advertising decisions in marketing channels. We consider a network composed of a unique retaile...

This paper answers a query of S. Vincze (Acta Univ. Szeged, Sect. Sci. Math. 12 A (1950) 136-142): find the convex octagon with unit-length sides and minim...

In the <i>m</i>-Peripatetic Salesman Problem</i> (<i>m</i>-PSP) the aim is to determine <i>m</i> edge disjoint Hamiltonian cycles of minimum total cost on a ...

This chapter describes some of the most important models and algorithms for the classical vehicle routing problem and for several families of arc routing pr...

Variable Neighborhood Search (VNS) is a recent metaheuristic, or framework for building heuristics, which exploits systematically the idea of neighborhood ch...

This paper presents an exact solution approach for the problem of the simultaneous dispatching and conflict-free routing of automated guided vehicles. The ...

This paper formulates and analyzes a pattern search method for general constrained optimization based on filter methods for step acceptance. Roughly, a f...

We define two classes of lower bounds using either one or two simplices for the minimization of a concave function over a polytope. For each of them, a pro...

Cet article propose un modèle d’optimisation des stratégies de maintenance pour une meilleure intégration dans un plan de production préétabli. Le modèle est...

It is well known that the set of correlated equilibrium distributions of a noncooperative game is a convex polytope that includes all the Nash equilibrium ...
