Canada was a proactive participant in developing the Paris Accord (COP 21; December, 2015), and committed to reduce its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 30%...

Soient \({\mathcal D(G)}\), \({\mathcal D}^L(G)={\mathcal Diag(Tr)} - {\mathcal D(G)}\) et \({\mathcal D}^Q(G)={\mathcal Diag(Tr)} + {\mathcal D(G)}\),...

Soit \(G\) un graph d'ordre \(n\). L'énergie \(\mathcal{E}(G)\) d'un graph simple \(G\) est la somme de des valeurs absolues des valeurs propres de s...

Despite the lack of theoretical and practical convergence support, the Nelder-Mead (NM) algorithm is widely used to solve unconstrained optimization proble...

The mining value chain comprises many inter-related components, from mines to transportation, to customers. When the individual components are optimized sep...

We analyze the effect of non-constant discounting on economic growth and social welfare in an endogenous growth model with pollution externalities. For ti...

Climate change is one of the greatest environmental challenges facing our planet in the foreseeable future, yet, despite international environmental agreemen...

This note revisits the problem of how to select an equilibrium in a differential game in the case of multiplicity of Nash equilibria. Most of the previous ap...

In this paper, we focus on the problem that has been described in the second international nurse rostering competition: a personalized nurse scheduling prob...

In this paper, we describe an algorithm for the personalized nurse scheduling problem. We focus on the deterministic counterpart of the specific problem t...

Nous considérons les problèmes d'optimisation sans dérivées avec variables continues, entières, discrètes et de catégorie dans le contexte d'applications i...

On considère un problème dynamique d’optimisation du prix et des dépenses publicitaires où la dynamique de réputation de la marque évolue à la Nerlove-Arrow....

Given an integer solution, the integral simplex using decomposition (ISUD) seeks a descent direction that leads to an improved adjacent integer solution. It ...

Cet article analyse l'effet stratégique d'investir en adaptation dans un jeu dynamique de pollution transfrontalière à horizon fini. Nous intégrons l'adaptat...

We consider a dynamic game model of ride-sourcing, where a large number of private car owners provide rides to randomly appearing customers. Free drivers c...

We study X-ray tomograqphic reconstruction using statistical methods. The problem is expressed in cylindrical coordinates, which yield significant computatio...

La contrefaçon, qui peut être définie comme le fait de copier illégalement des biens de marque, est un phénomène répandu à travers le monde. Si la production...

We examine the stability of international environmental agreements when they include both adaptation and mitigation policies. We assume that adaptation req...

The particularities of the aircraft parts riveting process simulation necessitate the solution of a large amount of contact problems. We propose a primal-dua...

The calibration of hydrological models is here formulated as a Blackbox optimization problem where the only information available to the optimization algorit...
