A process planning problem typically encountered in flexible manufacturing systems treating laminated material (e.g. metal sheets) is modelled and solved. I...

This paper is concerned with a <i>repair vs replacement</i> problem for a system observed in continuous time and subject to random failure. When the system ...

This paper extends the existence results obtained in Ref. [2] to the case of infinite dimensional control problems with distributed and boundary control. By...

The optimal control of an infinite dimensional linear control system with unbounded time interval is considered. The results obtained are an extension to a ...

The concept of &#x3f5;-sequential Stackelberg equilibrium is introduced in the general framework of dynamic two-person games defined in the Denardo contracti...

In this report, we deal with the assessment of energy technologies using the MARKAL model. Severals methods of evaluating the relative merits of technologie...

This report gives a general presentation of the Québec energy system modelling realized through the MARKAL formalism, and aimed at the implementation of a sy...

A Travelling Salesman Problem in a three-dimensional spatial domain is associated with a scheduling problem encountered in a flexible manufacturing cell incl...

One considers a differential game model of capitalism "à la Lancaster". Feedback Nash equilibria and Pareto optimal solutions are characterized under the as...

Various algorithms for numerical solutions of discounted stochastic games are presented. For zero-sum two-person games, the existing algorithms are compared...

Cet ouvrage présente le résultat d'une recherche de plus de deux années, subventionnée par le fond FCAC (Action spontanée), l'Ecole des Hautes Etudes Commerc...

A two-player multistage game, with an infinite number of stages is considered. The concepts of overtaking and weakly-overtaking pay-off sequences are introd...

The aim of these notes is to give a comprehensive presentation of the recently developed theory of optimal control of non linear dynamic systems defined on u...

This paper deals with a class of equilibria for differential games in which memory strategies are allowed. This class permits the inclusion of a threat in a...

This paper deals with a modified version of the Lancaster model of capitalism, where it is assumed that there is a cost jointly beared by the two groups of p...

This paper deals with a class of large-scale stochastic control problems typically associated with the maintenance of complex systems. For these systems the...

This paper presents a general dynamic programming algorithm for the solution of optimal stochastic control problems concerning a class of discrete event syst...

Nous étudions dans cet article la possibilité d'effectuer le couplage entre un modèle de simulation de la demande énergétique (MEDEE-3-QUEBEC) et un modèle d...

Cet article présente un modèle de programmation linéaire conçu pour analyser la structure du système énergétique du Québec et son adaptation à l'évolution de...

The aim of this paper is to propose a deterministic model designed for the analysis of social services policies directed toward large populations. The model...
