Abstract. We investigate the computing power of stateless multicounter machines with reversal-bounded counters. Such a machine can be deterministic, nondeterministic, realtime (the...
This paper introduces a global constraint encapsulating a regular constraint together with several cumulative costs. It is motivated in the context of personnel scheduling problems...
MINLP problems are hard constrained optimization problems, with nonlinear constraints and mixed discrete continuous variables. They can be solved using a Branch-and-Bound scheme c...
Abstract— Research on numerical solution methods for partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs) has primarily focused on discrete-state models, and these algorithms ...
— A manufacturer producing several items keeps them into safety stocks (buffers) in order to supply an external stochastic demand without interruptions. We consider the classical...
