This paper presents a new heuristic for the container loading problem. This problem arrives when one wants to load a subset of rectangular boxes into a recta...

This paper is intended not as a survey, but as an introduction to some ideas behind the class of mesh adaptive direct search (MADS) methods. Space limitatio...

The aim of this paper is to present efficient algorithms for the detection of multiple targets in noisy images of a finite region. The algorithms are based ...

This paper deals with the class of Markovian singularly perturbed linear continuous-time systems with time varying and mode-dependent time-delay. The stochas...

While convergence properties of many sampling selection methods can be proven to hold in a context of approximation of Feynman-Kac solutions using sequentia...

Multivariate one-sample location problem for clustered data is considered from a nonparametric viewpoint. We develop the spatial median and its affine equiv...

An alternative definition of the linear bilevel programming problem <i>BLP</i> has recently been proposed by Lu, Shi, and Zhang. This note shows that the pr...

We propose a unified framework for the update of the barrier parameter in interiorpoint methods for nonlinear programming. The original primal-dual system i...

The use of RFID technology has received a lot of attention due to the possible infringements on information privacy rights. This paper evaluates links betwe...

We consider two (0,1)-linear programming formulations of the graph (vertex-) coloring problem, in which variables are associated to stable sets of the input...

The paper presents a new method for determining the optimal operating policy of a power system with several reservoirs in series. The method, called Optimal...

We consider the multivariate location problem with cluster correlated data. A family of multivariate weighted sign tests are introduced for which observatio...

This paper deals with the class of continuous-time singular linear systems with time delay in the state vector. Delay-dependent sufficient conditions on sta...

We give complete descriptions of the Steiner equivalent subgraph polytope and its dominant when the underlying digraph is strongly connected and series-para...

Ce document valide le cadre conceptuel de logistique inverse de Lambert et Riopel (2004) à l'aide de trois cas industriels d'entreprises oeuvrant dans diffé...

In a transit authority bus depot, buses of different types arrive in the evening to be parked in the depot for the night, and then dispatched in the morning...

Affine object location is a difficult problem in computer vision. Genetic algorithm (GA) provides an efficient solution to the problem when there is little ...

Let <i>G = (V,E,w)</i> be a graph with vertex and edge sets <i>V</i> and <i>E</i>, respectively, and <i>w : E</i> <img src="/cgi-bin/mimetex.cgi?\rightarrow"...

A new one-sided test for serial correlation in multivariate time series models is proposed. The test is based on a comparison between a multivariate spectra...

In this paper, we study optimal economic growth programs coupled with climate change dynamics. The study is based on models derived from MERGE, a well estab...
