Cluster Analysis is at the crossroad of many disciplines, and has numerous and diverse methods and applications. Mathematical Programming (together with gra...

Several heuristic methods have been developed to solve the location-allocation problem in continuous space. Typically, these algorithms attempt to move in d...

In this paper we consider the daily aircraft routing and scheduling problem (DARSP). It consists of determining daily schedules which maximize the anticipat...

We propose a branch-and-bound framework for the global optimization of unconstrained Hölder functions. The general framework is used to derive two algorithm...

The use of nonparametric regression techniques for binary regression is a promising alternative to parametric methods. As in other nonparametric smoothing ...

We present a recent optimization approach that can be applied equally to aircraft routing, crew pairing generation and bidding/rostering problems arising in...

We consider a class of stochastic models for which the performance measure is defined as a mathematical expectation that depends on a parameter <img src="th...

We propose a new exact algorithm for the convex-quadratic bilevel programming problem, i.e, for problems with convex objective function and convex constrain...

In this work, we examine how to combine the score function method with the standard crude Monte Carlo and experimental design approaches, in order to evalua...

This paper deals with the robustness stabilizability of the class of linear systems with markovian jumping parameters and unknown but bounded uncertainties....

L'entreposage partagé, contrairement à l'entreposage dédié, permet qu'un emplacement du palettier reçoive des unités de différents produits ou classes de pr...

We consider a model of a flexible manufacturing system with failure-prone machines. The control variables are the rates of maintenance, repair, and product...

Routing models for packet-switched networks have traditionally been based on the assumption that the offered traffic is Poisson. This is unrealistic since ...

The purpose of this paper is to develop optimal tool partitioning policies and strip sequencing strategies for a class of flexible manufacturing problems su...

This paper reviews genetic algorithms and evolution systems and describes implementation of an evolution system to solve the QAP. Extensive search to select...

There are several routing and scheduling problems faced by airline companies, notably, aircraft scheduling, pairing generation and crew bidding and rosterin...

The multi-source Weber problem requires locating <i>m</i> new facilities in continuous space in order to minimize a sum of transportation costs to <i>n</i> ...

A semimodule <i>M</i> over an idempotent semiring <i>P</i> is also idempotent. When <i>P</i> is linearly ordered and conditionnally complete, we call it a p...

In this paper we consider a periodic preventive maintenance, repair, and production model of a flexible manufacturing system with failure-prone machines. The...

Ce document porte sur la fonction entreposage en général et sur les méthodes de rangement en particulier. Il est divisé en deux chapitres. Dans le premier c...
