Yasmin A. Rios-Solis 《4OR: A Quarterly Journal of Operations Research》2008,6(2):191-194
This is a summary of the author’s PhD thesis supervised by Francis Sourd and Philippe Chrétienne and defended on 30 January
2007 at the Université Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris. The thesis is written in French and is available from the author upon
request. This work is about scheduling on parallel machines in order to minimize the total sum of earliness and tardiness
costs. To solve some variants of this problem we propose: an exact method based on continuous relaxations of convex reformulations
derived from a 0–1 quadratic program; a heuristic algorithm that relies on a new exponential size neighborhood search; finally,
a lower bound method based on a polynomial time solution of a preemptive scheduling problem for which the cost functions of
the jobs have been changed into so called position costs functions.

This is a summary of the author’s PhD thesis. The thesis, written in English, was defended on 6 March 2006, and was supervised
by Rik Van Landeghem and Claude Van Mechelen. A copy is available from the author upon request. This PhD thesis focuses on
(cost-)efficient quality control for multistage production processes, a major issue to manufacturers. Subjecting a larger
product fraction to inspection, or tightening the acceptance limits, will normally lead to a higher product quality, but will
also result in higher costs of inspection, scrap and rework. Quantifying this trade-off and thus establishing ways of finding
an economic optimum is at the heart of this research. Thereto, a metaheuristic solution approach, consisting of an evolutionary
algorithm combined with simulation, is presented and validated.

This is a summary of the author’s PhD thesis supervised by Philippe Chrétienne and Safia Kedad-Sidhoum and defended in December
2005 at the Université Pierre et Marie Curie (Paris VI). The thesis is written in French and is available from . This work mainly deals with multi-item capacitated lot-sizing problems with setup times, shortages on demand and safety
stock deficit costs. We propose a new mathematical model that includes these new constraints. Three solution approaches are
considered: branch-and-cut, Lagrangean relaxation and MIP-based heuristics approaches. Experimental results showing the effectiveness
and the limit of each approach are presented.

This is a summary of the author’s PhD thesis, supervised by Pierre L’Ecuyer and Roberto Musmanno and defended on 21 February
2008 at the Università della Calabria. The thesis is written in English and is available from the author upon request. This
work deals with the comparison of simulation-based algorithms for solving the agents scheduling problem in a multiskill call
center minimizing their costs under service levels constraints. A solution approach, combining simulation, with integer or
linear programming, and cut generation, is proposed. Considering realistic problems, it performs better than the two-step
approach proposed in the literature. It is also shown that a randomized search, extending the one defined for the single-period
staffing problem in Avramidis et al. [IIE Trans (in press), 2008], yields highly suboptimal solutions. Finally, an extension
of the cutting plane method to directly control the probability on the customers abandonments is designed.

In this paper we propose a range of dynamic data envelopment analysis (DEA) models which allow information on costs of adjustment to be incorporated into the DEA framework. We first specify a basic dynamic DEA model predicated on a number of simplifying
assumptions. We then outline a number of extensions to this model to accommodate asymmetric adjustment costs, non-static output
quantities, non-static input prices, and non-static costs of adjustment, technological change, quasi-fixed inputs and investment
budget constraints. The new dynamic DEA models provide valuable extra information relative to the standard static DEA models—they identify an optimal path of adjustment for the input quantities, and provide a measure of the potential cost
savings that result from recognising the costs of adjusting input quantities towards the optimal point. The new models are
illustrated using data relating to a chain of 35 retail department stores in Chile. The empirical results illustrate the wealth
of information that can be derived from these models, and clearly show that static models overstate potential cost savings
when adjustment costs are non-zero.

This thesis presents a multicommodity flow problem on a telephone network, consisting in allocating telephone lines from one switching center to another to physical routes represented by edges. The criterion is the minimum of the total investment cost, in which the cost of each edge is a step function. Representing each group of lines between two vertices as a flow gives a very large model; decomposing these flows along paths permits the use of generalized programming; defining the total cost from the lines themselves exhibits a solution method by approximation. Three heuristic methods are presented. Solving by successive approximations to the actual costs of the lines gives a good solution. Rerouting lines from one path to another presents several pathologies which can be corrected, and shows the possibility of improving the solution yielded by the approximation method. 相似文献

This is a summary of the author’s PhD thesis, supervised by Edoardo Amaldi and defended on 28 April 2006 at Politecnico di
Milano, Dipartimento di Matematica. The thesis is written in English and is available from the author upon request. The thesis
investigates a class of nonlinear set covering variants arising from the problem of designing single-frequency Wireless Local
Area Networks (WLANs) with maximum efficiency. In the first part of the thesis a basic hyperbolic formulation of the problem
is considered. After a complexity and approximability study, the problem is tackled by linearization techniques, and by Lagrangean
and Dantzig–Wolfe decompositions. The second part of the thesis focuses on variants accounting for various relevant features
of the WLAN application. A Branch-and-Price algorithm is presented, and extensions to the multiple-frequency WLAN design problem
are considered.

We prove an existence theorem for the optimal control of variational inequalities governed by a pseudomonotone operator: the cost is assumed to be quadratic. Then, we give an extension of the theorem to more general costs (assuming the operator to be monotone); we also give a result on a perturbation problem.This work is an extended part of the author's thesis, written under the direction of Professor T. Zolezzi. This research was partially supported by the Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche (CNR), Rome, Italy. 相似文献

This is a summary of the author’s PhD thesis supervised by Marie- Christine Costa and Frédéric Roupin and defended on 20 November
2006 at the Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers in Paris (France). The thesis is written in French and is available
upon request from the author. This work deals with two well-known optimization problems from graph theory: the maximum integral
multiflow and the minimum multicut problems. The main contributions of this thesis concern the polynomial-time solvability
and the approximation of these two problems (and of some of their variants) in classical classes of graphs: bounded tree-width
graphs, planar graphs and grids, digraphs, etc.

Università di Bologna. The thesis is written in English and is available from the author upon request. This work is focused
on Mixed Integer Programming (MIP). In particular, the first part of the thesis deals with general purpose cutting planes,
which are probably the key ingredient behind the success of the current generation of MIP solvers. The second part is instead
focused on the heuristic and exact exploitation of integer programming techniques for hard combinatorial optimization problems
in the context of routing applications. 相似文献

was defended in October 2005 at the Université Paris Dauphine. It is written in French and is available on-line. The thesis is focused on combinatorial optimization problems, studied
from the standpoint of polynomial approximation theory. We were interested both in structural concerns (mainly completeness
in approximation classes and logical expressivity) and operational ones (with the study of satisfiability, coloring and covering
problems).

Robert N. Boute 《4OR: A Quarterly Journal of Operations Research》2007,5(3):261-264
This text summarizes the PhD thesis of Robert Boute, obtained at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (Belgium) under supervision
of Marc Lambrecht. This doctoral dissertation in the field of Supply Chain Management demonstrates that significant cost reductions
can be obtained for both the retailer and the manufacturer when they align their replenishment policy. Such a collaboration
strategy goes far beyond “information sharing”. In this summary, we present the research model, the general outline of the
thesis and the methodology used. The PhD thesis, written in English, is available from the author upon request.
