We introduce an iterative algorithm for the solution of the diameter minimization clustering problem (DMCP). Our algorithm is based upon two observations: 1)...

Thermoforming process is a technique widely used in the plastic industry. This process involves three stages: i) sheet heating, ii) forming, and iii) cooling...

Traditionally, claim counts and amounts are assumed to be independent in non-life insurance. This paper explores how this oft unwarranted assumption can be r...

In order to determine the risk capital for their aggregate portfolio, property and casualty insurance companies must fit a multivariate model to the loss tri...

Two bivariate extensions of the Skellam distribution were proposed by Genest and Mesfioui (2014), who also derived moment estimators for their dependence par...

Given a flight schedule and a set of aircraft of different types, the airline fleet assignment problem (FAP) consists of assigning an aircraft type to each f...

We model and solve the problem of sequencing a set of jobs with specified processing times and tool requirements on a set of identical parallel machines. D...

This paper presents a numerical investigation of the non-hierarchical formulation of Analytical Target Cascading (ATC) for coordinating distributed multidisc...

In smart-metered systems, fine-grained power demand data (load profile) is communicated from a user to the utility provider. The correlation of the load pr...

This paper presents a new formulation for the risk averse stochastic reservoir management problem. Using recent advances in robust optimization and stochasti...

Reforming energy consumption subsidies, in particular for fossil fuels, has been frequently referred to as a quick-win policy to enhance environmental miti...

Dans cet exposé, on rappelle les éléments importants de la théorie des jeux dynamiques définis sur des arbres d'évènements. Ensuite, on montre comment bâtir...

The tail assignment problem is a critical part of the airline planning process that assigns specific aircraft to sequences of flights, called lines-of-flight...

Cet article propose une formulation par optimisation bi-niveau pour effectuer la conception d'un micro-réseau alimentant un complexe industriel autonome sur ...

Les inférences sur la prédominance d'une maladie ou d'une condition donnée sont déduites parfois des résultats de tests de diagnostic continus. Par exemple,...

Dans cet article, nous montrons les conditions d'efficacité d'un mécanisme financier de type REDD+ (initiative internationale pour la réduction des émissions...

En 2001, le Trésor Américain interrompait l'émission de bons du trésor de longue maturité (trente ans), pour la reprendre en 2006. Par conséquent, il existe...

Electric utilities have been using wind power to an increasing extent in order to provide clean energy. However, this resource depends on the intermittency o...

Une collection de systèmes linéaires engendrés au cours des itérations d'une méthode de points intérieurs pour l'optimisation quadratique convexe est...

Avec les avancées dans l’intégration des énergies renouvelables dans les réseaux électriques, les méthodes de planification stochastiques deviennent des alte...
