In this paper, a fuzzy multiobjective mathematical programming model for operational transport planning in a supply chain is presented. The objectives of the proposed model are the minimization of the number of used trucks and the total inventory level, by considering vehicle capacities as a...

Taking as a reference a model in which there are a public firm, a national private firm and a foreign private one, it is analyzed both mergers sustainability and their relative effects on welfare. It is proved that the merger between the public firm and either the national or the international...

In this paper we present a reformulation of a lemma due to Lippman and McCall - initially formulated a unique random variable - to be applied to the case of several random variables, and we illustrate its use in the theory of the firm under uncertainty. We have performed this on a recent model...

The goal of this study is to get a premium calculation principle, for the life insurance business, based on a coherent risk measure (Wang, 1995) in the form of power, called \Proportional Hazards (PH) Transforms" to justify the recommendation of Solvency II to reduce the effect of the mortality...
