In this paper, several problem reduction techniques are discussed that can be used to reduce the solution time of set partitioning problems. These techniques can be applied in any solution algorithm for set partitioning problems. Besides a short review of the existing literature on preprocessing...

In this paper, the standard two-period general equilibrium model with incomplete financial markets is considered. First, existence of equilibrium is proved using a stationary point argument on the set of no-arbitrage prices. Prices are normalized with respect to the market portfolio. The proof...

This discussion paper resulted in a publication in 'Discrete Optimization', 2007, 4, 315-321.<P> In this paper an algorithm is proposed to find an integral solution of (nonlinear) complementarity problems. The algorithm starts with a nonnegative integral point and generates a unique sequence of...</p>

In a standard general equilibrium model it is assumed that there are no price restictionsand that prices adjust infinitely fast to their equilibrium values. In this paper the set ofadmissible prices is allowed to be an arbitrary convex set. For such an arbitrary set it cannotbe guaranteed that...
