Optimization and networks

This text presents topics investigated in 28 years spent at "Centre Automatique et Systèmes" (CAS) of "École des Mines de Paris" within (in the last years) the "Optimization of large scale systems and networks" project. This work is going on now in the framework of École des Ponts et Chaussées, of INRIA and of ENSTA, the institution joined by my long standing colleague of CAS, Pierre Carpentier.
