This paper deals with a generalized version of the Travelling Salesman Problem which consists of finding the shortest Hamiltonian circuit through n clusters,...

This paper describes algorithmic approaches for dealing with fuzziness in some highly structured combinatorial problems. A general framework is described an...

Some earlier results on k-star constraints and comb inequalities are generalized.

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...

L'objectif de l'étude est d'évaluer l'impact sur les choix résidentiels de certains changements structurels tels les modifications dans la composition de la ...

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...

Solutions to the oligopolistic equilibrium problem have been obtained under a variety of concavity and differentiability assumptions about the supply and inv...

Ce rapport décrit le logiciel graphique exploitant les résultats fournis par le modèle énergétique MARKAL. Il explique en détails les étapes nécessaires à l...

The problem of exogenity in economics is a highly relative one. For example in microeconomics (production theory or consumer theory) quantities are exogeneo...

This paper describes an integer linear programming algorithm for vehicle routing problems involving capacity and distance constraints. The method uses const...

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...

In this article, we examine the use of Lagrangian relaxation to obtain a lower bound on the minimum fleet size for the m-TSP with time window constraints on ...

This paper provides an integer linear programming formulation and an exact algorithm for a class of multidepot vehicle routing problems. This formulation co...

This paper provides integer linear programming formulations for three types of vehicle routing problems. Appropriate relaxations of these formulations lend ...

Consider a set of trips where each trip is specified a priori by a place of origin, a destination, a duration, a cost and a time interval within which the tr...

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...

Ce rapport a pour but de fournir une description plus précise des technologies utilisées dans l'industrie du zinc en considérant un ensemble d'activités cara...

The variational inequality problem can be formulated as a nonconvex, nondifferentiable optimization problem. We show that this formulation leads to a conver...
