Bargaining and Sharing Knowledge.

Aspremont, C.; Bhattacharya, S.; Gerard-Varet, L.A. - Center for Operations Research and Econometrics (CORE), … - 1996

We consider the problem of bargaining over the disclosure of interim research knowledge, between two participants in a R & D race or contest, for an ultimate, patentable invention. Licensing fee schedules, as fuctions of the "amount of knowledge" disclosed by the leading to the lagging agent,...

Comparison of heuristic procedures for an integrated model for production and distribution planning in an environment of shared resources

STRACK, Géraldine; FORTZ, Bernard; RIANE, Fouad; VAN … - Center for Operations Research and Econometrics (CORE), … - 2011

In this paper, we present a mathematical model which integrates tactical-operational production and distribution … decisions in a shared resources environment. More precisely, we integrate lot sizing production and distribution decisions with … the link between production and distribution decisions. Three heuristics are presented in order to solve this global model …

The Uncapacitated Lot-Sizing Problem with Sales and Safety Shocks.

Loparic, M.; Pochet, Y.; Wolsey, L.A. - Center for Operations Research and Econometrics (CORE), … - 1999

The authors examine a variant of the uncapacitated lot-sizing model of Wagner-Within involving sales instead of fixed demands, and lower bounds on stocks. Two extended formulations are presented, as well as a dynamic programming algorithm and a complete description of the convex hull of solutions.
