Projected Krylov methods are full-space formulations of Krylov methods that take place in a nullspace. Provided projections into the nullspace can be compute...

This paper studies a districting problem which arises in the context of financial product pricing. The challenge lies in partitioning a set of small geogra...

The paper surveys the literature on cooperative advertising in marketing channels (supply chains) using game theoretic methods. During the last decade in p...

We consider the multicommodity network flow formulation of the Multiple Depot Vehicle Scheduling Problem (MDVSP) and investigate several strategies within a ...

Transmission and betweenness centrality are key concepts in communication networks theory. In this paper, a series of network descriptors based on betweenne...

Le changement climatique constitue un défi majeur du 21^e siècle. C'est un phénomène global, transfrontalier s'inscrivant dans un horizon de temps ...

Cloud Computing applications are inherently oriented to send and receive information between multiple virtual machines and geographically distributed users. ...

In this paper, we propose an algorithm to solve multi objective optimization problem where the objects under study are graphs. The proposed algorithm is des...

The Mesh Adaptive Direct Search algorithm (MADS) algorithm is designed for nonsmooth blackbox optimization problems in which the evaluation of the funct...

This paper proposes a dynamic game model of the process through which countries join international environmental agreements (IEAs). The model assumes that ...

Introduced during the late nineties of the last century, Variable Neighborhood Search (VNS) was first designed for solving specific problems in combinatorial...

Cloud Computing networks include software components, servers, routers, network links, and data center facilities. Thus, they require a meticulous design tha...

Column generation for solving linear programs with a huge number of variables alternates between solving a master problem and a pricing subproblem to add var...

We propose a new dynamic row/column management algorithm for the schedule of freight trains in a single/double track railway system. While many works have al...

Scheduling often plays an important role in vehicle routing. This paper describes several applications in which the author has been involved in recent years...

We introduce a Laplacian and a signless Laplacian for the distance matrix of a connected graph, called the <i>distance Laplacian</i> and <i>distance signless...

One of the major results announced in the static literature on the coordination of pricing decisions in bilateral monopolies states that vertical integrati...

Consider a scale that accepts three marbles of different weights. The scale only ranks the marbles, by indicating the heaviest, the lightest and the middle ...

The unit commitment problem is a fundamental problem in the operation of power systems. The purpose of unit commitment is to minimize the system-wide cost o...

We propose a stochastic dynamic program for valuing options on stock-index futures. The model accounts for deterministic, seasonally varying dividends gene...
