This paper briefly presents the life of Abram Bergson (Burk). It summarizes its most important contributions to economic theory : microeconomics, welfare economics,...

This paper investigates the impact of political leaders' migration experience on the quality of their leadership. We build up an original database on the personal...

This paper looks at the association between wage satisfaction and different notions of reference wage, based on a matched employer-employee dataset. It shows that...

Minimum spanning tree is a classical polynomial problem very well known in operational research and in theoretical computer science. In this paper, we settle the...

We study approximation of min set cover combining ideas and results from polynomial approximation and from exact computation (with non-trivial worst case complexity...

Let K be a number field, and L be a finite normal extension of K with Galois group G. It is known that the number of Frobenius automorphisms corresponding to prime...

Homogeneity and heterogeneity represent a well-known trade-off in the design of modular robot systems. This work addresses the heterogeneity concept, its rationales,...

We formulate an affine invariant implementation of the algorithm in Nesterov (1983). We show that the complexity bound is then proportional to an affine invariant...

In this paper, a new sorting method, following a decision aiding constructive approach, is proposed. This method is called Electre Tri-C. As a sorting method, a set of...

The paper proposes an algorithm for collecting data from a wireless sensor network modeled as a random geometric graph in the unit square. The sensors are supposed to...

This article is to be published in the review Reflets et perspectives de la vie économique, introducing the issue on the theme of structural competitiveness (RPVE,...

This paper proposes a way to bring together two seemingly "foreign" domains that are the polynomial approximation and the exact computation for NP-hard problems. We...

La communication en elle-même a été présentée sur support power-point lors du Symposium Oman-Yemen, à l'université du sultan Qaboos à Mascate. Le présent texte a été distribué...

A common finding of the optimal unemployment insurance literature is that the optimal UI replacement rate is around 50%, implying that current levels in the US are...

Accurate energy-size dependence of excitonic transitions in semiconductor nanocrystals in the strong confinement regime using classical theoretical approaches such as...

In this paper, we consider a financial market with assets exposed to some risks inducing jumps in the asset prices, and which can still be traded after default times....
