In this paper, the problem of <img src="/cgi-bin/mimetex.cgi?{\cal H}_\infty"> controller design for Markovian singular systems with discontinuities (M...

Price-matching-guarantees (PMGs) are offers by firms whereby they assure customers that they will match any lower price offered by the competition for an i...

In this paper, we study a decentralized supply chain in which the manufacturer sells a short lifecycle product using wholesale price (only) contracts to a ...

In this paper, we propose a tree-based method for multivariate outcomes consisting in a mixture of categorical and continuous responses. The split function...

Routing for shared protection has received a lot of interest in the last few years. A large number of the studies focus on minimizing the network transport ...

This paper attempts to shed an empirical light on so-called jump bidding in ascending auctions. There is a jump when a participant in an auction outbids t...

In this paper, we consider the nonparametric Behrens-Fisher problem with cluster correlated data. A class of weighted Mann-Whitney test statistics are intr...

How can a cooperative agreement made at the start of a dynamic game can be sustained over time? Early work has avoided this question by supposing that the...

Clusterwise regression is a technique for clustering data. Instead of using the classical homogeneity or separation criterion, clusterwise regression is ba...

We study conflict and cooperation issues in a two-stage production system. The objective of the first stage is to minimize the sum of the completion times o...

Storage location assignment and interleaving policy are two closely related problems in warehousing management. This paper addresses the location assignmen...

Cet article dresse un portrait de l'état de la concurrence fiscale internationale par l'entremise i) de l'étude des taux d'impôt et autres caractéristiques...

In this paper, we examine sets of tools associated to modeling systems for mathematical programming which can be used to automatically detect the presence ...

We propose a new approach to solve the multi-objective portfolio selection problem in the presence of skewness. The selection of efficient portfolios require...

In previous work, bimatrix games were expressed as parametric linear mixed 0-1 programs and the <img src="/cgi-bin/mimetex.cgi?{\rm E}_\chi">MIP algorithm w...

This study examines simultaneously the effect of personal, contextual, and product-related factors on purchasing behaviour of fair-trade products. The resu...

Most Fleet Assignment Problem (FAP) formulations use a leg-based estimation of revenue loss to derive the passenger revenue component of their objective fu...

Consider a convex polygon <i>V_n</i> with <i>n</i> sides, perimeter <i>P_n</i>, diameter <i>D_n</i>, area <i>A_n</i>...

We present a model that rapidly finds an approximation of the expected passenger flow on an airline network, given forecast data concerning 1) the distribut...

This paper describes a Parallel Space Decomposition (PSD) technique for the Mesh Adaptive Direct Search (MADS) algorithm. MADS extends Generalized Pattern ...
