This paper deals with a class of discounted sequential games which admit of analysis through a contracting operator approach à la Denardo. These games appea...

This paper deals with a class of continuous time discounted models representing an incremental incentive scheme whereby a firm receives a premium if its curr...

La justification de l'investissement en automatisation flexible pose un problème d'information et de hasard moral. La grande difficulté est la quantificatio...

This paper deals with the construction of cooperative equilibria for stochastic dynamic games, where the players cannot observe the actions of their opponent...

This paper presents mathematical formulations for some vehicle routing and scheduling problems with time window constraints and the optimal solution approach...

One considers a class of systems described by a set of state equations indexed over a finite set E. A random jump process with value in E represents the per...

Nous présentons un aperçu des principales idées permettant la formulation du phénomène de négociation collective dans le langage de la théorie des jeux. Apr...

In this paper we analyze the problem of finding the trading area for a facility on a linear market. Given the objective of maximizing profit, we first build...

The aim of this note is to show that the algorithm recently proposed by J. Bard (1983) is not guaranteed to converge to the desired solution of a Linear Two-...

This paper examines a class of asymmetrical multi-depot vehicle routing problems and location-routing problems, under capacity or maximum cost restrictions. ...

This research deals with the Planning of Operation on a two-machine cell consisting of: a) a (NC) turret-mounted multi-tool punch, b) a (NC) shear. The cell...

In this paper, an extension of the classical scheduling problem is considered. It is assumed that tasks are processed on parallel processors, available at d...

Recently we have witnessed the development of a fast growing body of research focused on vehicle routing and scheduling problem structures with time window c...

Location-routing problems involve simultaneously locating a number of facilities among candidate sites and establishing delivery routes to a set of users in ...

This paper considers a vehicle routing problem with full loads and time limit constraints. This problem can be formulated as an asymmetrical travelling sale...

The oil refining industry is an important part of the Canadian energy supply system which has to adapt itself to the new energy demand patterns emerging from...

This report presents the structure and the possible uses of a long range system analysis tool which models the evolution of the energy needs of the Canadian ...

This report deals with the long range modelling of energy needs in the cement industry. Starting from the analysis already performed for the Québec energy s...
