We study the impact of timing and commitment on adaptation and mitigation policies in the context of international environmental problems. Adaptation polic...

Variable neighborhood search (VNS) is a framework for building heuristics, based upon systematic changes of neighborhoods both in a descent phase, to find a...

For a Neoclassical growth model, exponential discounting is observationally equivalent to quasi-hyperbolic discounting, if the instantaneous discount rate ...

The integral simplex using decomposition (ISUD) algorithm <font size=2>[Zaghrouti, A., Soumis, F., Elhallaoui, I.: Integral simplex using decomposition for t...

Thermoforming process is a technique widely used in the plastic industry. This process involves three stages: i) sheet heating, ii) forming, and iii) cooling...

Given a flight schedule and a set of aircraft of different types, the airline fleet assignment problem (FAP) consists of assigning an aircraft type to each f...

We model and solve the problem of sequencing a set of jobs with specified processing times and tool requirements on a set of identical parallel machines. D...

This paper presents a numerical investigation of the non-hierarchical formulation of Analytical Target Cascading (ATC) for coordinating distributed multidisc...

Reforming energy consumption subsidies, in particular for fossil fuels, has been frequently referred to as a quick-win policy to enhance environmental miti...

In this tutorial, we recall the main ingredients of the theory of dyamic games played over event trees and show step-by-step how to build a sustainable coo...

The tail assignment problem is a critical part of the airline planning process that assigns specific aircraft to sequences of flights, called lines-of-flight...

This paper proposes a bilevel formulation for a coupled planning and operation problem of an advanced microgrid. The proposed model, recast as a mathematical...

In this paper, we design a REDD mechanism (Reduction of Emissions from Deforestation and forests Degradation) to help a region in Madagascar manage its tropi...

We describe a collection of linear systems generated during the iterations of an interior-point method for convex quadratic optimization. As the iteration...

In this paper, we investigate team optimal control of a population of heterogeneous LQ (Linear Quadratic) agents. The population consists of finite distinct...

In this paper we present a novel formulation based on a certain median function to solve discretely constrained mixed complementarity problems (MCPs). Such p...

In this paper, we propose a diffusion model for a subscription service. The evolution over time of the number of subscribers is governed by a differential ...

Adaptative cubic regularization (ARC) methods for unconstrained optimization compute steps from linear systems with a shifted Hessian in the spirit of the mo...

Non-price attributes such as prior relationship, product quality, and reliability can be more important than bidding prices for the buyers when selecting the...

In this paper, we tackle the aircraft conflict resolution problem under uncertainties. We consider errors due to the wind effect, the imprecision on the airc...
