The Linear Ordering Problem with Cumulative Costs is an NP-hard combinatorial optimization problem arising from an application in UMTS mobile-phone communication systems. This pap...
In this paper, we analyze a discrete-time preemptive resume priority queue. We consider two classes of customers which have to be served, where customers of one class have preempt...
We study a problem faced by a major beverage producer. The company produces and distributes several brands to various customers from its regional distributors. For some of these b...
This paper describes potential applications of multi-attribute preference models (MAPM) in e-commerce and offers some guidelines for their implementation. MAPM are methodologies f...

The 0-1 Multidimensional Knapsack Problem (0-1 MKP) is a wellknown (and strongly NP-hard) combinatorial optimization problem with many applications. Up to now, the majority of upp...
Primal-dual Interior-Point Methods (IPMs) have shown their ability in solving large classes of optimization problems efficiently. Feasible IPMs require a strictly feasible startin...
We solve an optimal growth model in continuous space, continuous and bounded time. The optimizer chooses the optimal trajectories of capital and consumption across space and time ...
In this paper we prove the existence and uniqueness of a solution concept for n-person games with fuzzy coalitions, which we call the Shapley mapping. The Shapley mapping, when it...
