In this paper, we study the aircraft loading problem (ALP) which consists of transporting a series of items between two different points by aircraft at a mi...

Variable Neighborhood Search (VNS) is a recent metaheuristic which exploits systematically the idea of change of neighborhood within the search. After recal...

In this paper, we survey applications and algorithms pertaining to an important class of price setting problems formulated in the framework of bilevel progr...

We review the work of B. Roy in graph theory and its posterity.

This paper studies the class of uncertain linear systems with time-delay and Markov jump disturbance, in which the time-delay is assumed to be dependent on...

Given a set of logical sentences together with nonnegative weights assigned to each of them, the Maximum Weight Satisfiability problem (MAX-WEIGHT SAT) cons...

A Basic Variable Neighbourhood Search heuristic is applied to min-max global optimization problems. The method is tested on the spread spectrum radar polyph...

We modify the algorithm of Pardalos and Rodgers [40] for the minimization of a pseudo-boolean quadratic function by introducing an easy to compute lower bou...

The set of equilibrium points of a bimatrix game is the union of polytopes that are not necessarily disjoint. Knowledge of the vertices of these polytopes ...

Clique partitionning in Euclidean space <b>R</b>ⁿ consists in finding a partition of a given set of <i>N</i> points into <i>M</i> clusters in ord...

The operating schedule problem in open-pit mine can be associated with the problem of maximal closure on a graph. In the literature, the Lagrangian relaxati...

Assigning locomotives and cars to a set of scheduled trains is a complex but important problem for passenger railways. This task is normally carried out in ...

Since Hinkley's original work on exact inference for a change in a sequence of random variables, many authors have proposed different methods based either o...

Ce papier présente une nouvelle procédure de classification, appelée PROCFTN, basée sur le domaine de l'aide multicritère à la décision. Le principe général...

In a research synthesis on the prognosis of depression, the outcome of interest has a multinomial distribution with the following typical categories: well, ...

We present a fast tabu search method for the design of access tree networks. We connect a population of users to a set of switches using a variety of SONET ...

Le problème de plus court chemin avec contraintes de ressources consiste à trouver un chemin d'un point origine à un point destination de coût minimum et re...

We propose a network design model for flat networks using hybrid optical/electronic equipments. We describe a set of network components that can be taken in...

This report deals with the class of uncertain dynamical systems with Markov jumps and time-delay. The problems of robust stability and stabilizability are c...

This report deals with the class of dynamical uncertain systems with Markov jumps and time-delay. We consider the stochastic stability and stochastic stabil...
