My Ph.D.

P. Chardaire, (1998),
"Facility Location Optimization and Cooperative Games"
Ph.d., School of Information Systems, University of East-Anglia, Norwich NR4 7TJ, UK.

Note: Instead of down-loading chapter 4 and 5 you may down-load two papers with similar titles from the list of my publications. These papers are more concise and more interesting to read.
Chapter 1 is easy to read but is not of the same standard as the rest of the thesis.

Copyright: According to the standard copyright of the University (see first file) I suppose that I have to write the following statement:

I, the author, authorize the reader of my thesis to quote my thesis and to use the information and results of that thesis provided that proper acknowledgement is given in any document that would quote my thesis or report on results that would be derived from information and results of my thesis.
