This paper proposes a Benders-like partitioning algorithm to solve the network loading problem. The effort of computing integer solutions is entirely left to a pure integer programming solver while valid inequalities are generated by solving standard nonlinear multicommodity flow problems. The...

This paper deals with an application of the robust equilibrium concept in game theory to the assessment of the possible international agreement on climate that could be achieved in the conference of the parties negotiations organized by the UNFCCC. It is shown in particular that an acceptable,...

In this paper we present the regional techno-economic model ETEM, designed for the analysis of regional energy/environment systems and we show how it can be used to explore the possible penetration of new technologies in a region corresponding roughly to the canton of Geneva. We investigate...

We analyze the two cut generation scheme in the analytic center cutting plane method. We propose an optimal updating direction when the two cuts are central. The direction is optimal in the sense that it maximizes the product of the new slacks within the trust region defined by Dikin's...

We propose a path-following version of the Todd-Burrell procedure to solve linear programming problems with an unknown optimal value. The path-following scheme is not restricted to Karmarkar's primal step; it can also be implemented with a dual Newton step or with a primal-dual step. Copyright...
