For a profit allocation game, one key issue is to find a fair allocation of profit among its players. In this paper, a proportional egalitarian core solution is proposed, which defines in the core of a game an allocation that takes account of each player's contribution to the grand coalition....

A production planning problem with stochastic demands is considered in this paper. The problem is to determine over a given time horizon the production quantity of each intermediate/final product at each facility of finite capacity so that a system-wide total cost is minimised while meeting...

This paper proposes a branch-and-bound algorithm for cyclic scheduling of a robotic flowshop with multiple part types in which the processing times of parts can vary within their given time windows. The problem consists of two types of sequencing issues: part input sequencing and robot move...

In this paper, we consider the problem of scheduling tasks on two dedicated processors where some tasks need to be processed only by the first processor and some others by the second processor; the remaining tasks, however, need both processors simultaneously. Tasks have release dates and have...
