We consider equilibrium constrained optimization problems, which have a general formulationthat encompasses well-known models such as mathematical programs with equilibrium constraints, bilevel programs, and generalized semi-infinite programming problems. Based on the celebrated K K M lemma, we...

Direct marketing firms want to transfer their message as efficiently as possible in order to obtain a profitable long-term relationship with individual customers. Much attention has been paid to address selection of existing customers and on identifying new profitable prospects. Less attention...

In this paper the well-known minimax theorems of Wald, Ville and Von Neumann are generalized under weaker topological conditions onthe payoff function ƒ and/or extended to the larger set of the Borel probabilitymeasures instead of the set of mixed strategies.

By using Paradigm, it is possible to model cooperating processes and to make the communication between these processes very clear. This report gives a formal description of this modeling method using state-transition diagrams in order to model processes and homomorphismes and interleavings in...

This paper studies the performance of static and real-time scheduling approaches in vehicle-based internal transport … static VBIT problems (insertion, combined and column generation), extend them to a dynamic, real-time setting and compare … their performance over a rolling time horizon. This time horizon can be seen either as a fixed-time interval in which …

VMI (Vendor Managed Inventory) is a widely used cooperative inventory policy in supply chains in which each enterprise has its autonomy in pricing. This paper discusses a leader-follower Stackelberg game in a VMI supply chain where the manufacturer, as a leader, produces a single product with a...

In this paper we introduce robust versions of the classical static and dynamic single leg seat allocation models as analyzed by Wollmer, and Lautenbacher and Stidham, respectively. These robust models take into account the inaccurate estimates of the underlying probability distributions. As...

We present a new method for visualizing similarities between objects. The method is called VOS, which is an abbreviation for visualization of similarities. The aim of VOS is to provide a low-dimensional visualization in which objects are located in such a way that the distance between any pair...

We describe an algorithmic approach to determine an efficient railway rolling stock circulation on a single line or on a set of interacting lines. Given the timetable and the passengers? seat demand, we develop a branch-and-price algorithm that results in an allocation of rolling stock material...
