Outsourcing plays an important role in the success of organizations. One of the risks associated with outsourcing is inappropriate contractor selection which significantly influences the implementation of projects in terms of time, quality, and cost. In this study, we applied multi-criteria decision-making techniques in order to determine the best contractor using criteria such as reputation, o...

This paper describes a solver programming method, called contractor programming, that copes with two issues related to constraint processing over the reals. First, continuous constraints involve an inevitable step of solver design. Existing softwares provide an insufficient answer by restricting users to choose among a list of fixed strategies. Our first contribution is to give more freedom in ...

By means of Contractor Iteration Method, we solve and visualize the Lane-Emden(-Fowler) equation Δu+ u = 0, in Ω, u = 0, on ∂Ω. It is shown that the present method converges quadratically as Newton’s method and the computation of Contractor Iteration Method is cheaper than the Newton’s method. Keywords—Positive Solutions; Newton’s Method; Contractor Iteration Method; Eigenpairs.

This article studies the role of installment payments in relationships characterized by moral hazard and sunk costs. We rule out vertical integration and payments contingent on the product of the contractor. Instead, each payment is negotiated as and when made. In such circumstances, an initial (down)payment serves to redress the weakness of the contractor in ex post renegotiations. Ifhigher ef...
