We consider a price setting duopoly producing differentiated goods, where the players can learn by doing and from each other. The unit production cost is mo...

We consider the problem of finding a shortest path for a car-like robot maneuvering in a convex cell. This robot, capable of forward and backward motion, is...

Consider a polyhex <i>H</i> which admits a perfect matching <i>M</i>. Harary, Klein and Zivkovic define the perfect matching vector of <i>M</i> as <img src...

In a normal benzenoid hydrocarbon <i>H</i> no bonds are fixed, i.e. each bond belongs to some perfect matching or Kekulé structure of <i>H</i>. Fixing one o...

In this research, two large scale MARKAL L. P. models of Québec and Ontario are used to evaluate the response of their energy systems to various economic an...

We study the problem of finding a shortest path for a car-like mobile robot with a minimal turning radius constraint. This vehicle can move either forward o...

We analyze the convergence and the complexity of a potential reduction column generation algorithm for solving general convex or quasiconvex feasibility pro...

Cet article traîte de différentes méthodes, utilisant la théorie de la commande optimale stochastique et la programmation mathématique, qui permettent de pr...

We recently proposed to model location and sizing of offshore platforms for oil exploration and production as a multicapacitated plant location problem. We...

For a flexible manufacturing system, determining the feasible production set at a given time is essential for production management. In this paper, we prop...

In this paper we consider a maintenance and production model of a flexible manufacturing system. The maintenance activity involves lubrication, routine adju...

Consider a set <i>O</i> of <i>N</i> entities and a matrix <i>D</i> = (<i>d_{k <img src="ell.gif">}</i>) of dissimilarities between pairs of entities...

Let <i>H</i> denote a simply-connected cata-condensed polyhex. It is shown that if <i>H</i> has three hexagons in a row it does not have a maximum number of...

Ce document présente la façon dont a été traîtée la modélisation du secteur de la production électrique de 5 États américains selon l'approche MARKAL. Il es...

In this paper we assess the potential contribution of optimization based systems analysis methods in the modeling of economy-energy-environment interactio...

This paper deals with the modeling of economy-environment interactions for several countries which are assumed to behave competitively for the control of th...

In this paper, we present three algorithms for the solution of a large-scale zero-sum two-player stochastic game in discrete time, with a finite state set a...

In a previous paper, a global optimization algorithm, called MLEW, is provided for finding Maximum Likelihood Estimators for the three-parameter Weibull dis...

One important issue being addressed in the design of Distributed Computer Networks is how to increase the availability of time-changing information even in ...

We consider nonlinear programs in 0-1 variables with nonlinear constraints and survey the main approaches to their solution: (i) linearization; (ii) algebra...
