This paper presents a formulation of the facilities block layout problem which explicitly considers uncertainty in material handling costs on a continuous scale by use of expected...
This paper considers the break minimization problem in sports timetabling. The problem is to find, under a given timetable of a round-robin tournament, a home-away assignment that...
We present an algorithm to compute the (pre)-kernel of a TU-game N, v with a system of n 2 1 linear programming problems. In contrast to the algorithms using convergence methods t...
Starting from a given one-shot game played by a finite population of agents living in flatline, a circular or constrained grid structured by the classical definitions of neighborh...
In today's economy, manufacturing plants must be able to operate efficiently and respond quickly to changes in product mix and demand. Therefore, this paper considers the pro...

A well known transformation by Pearn, Assad and Golden reduces a Capacitated Arc Routing Problem (CARP) into an equivalent Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem (CVRP). However, tha...
We are interested in the graph coloring problem. We propose an exact method based on a linear-decomposition of the graph. The complexity of this method is exponential according to...
This paper analyzes a legendary Chinese horse race problem involving the King of Qi and General Tianji which took place more than 2000 years ago. In this problem each player owns ...
