Parallel decomposition of large-scale stochastic nonlinear programs
(Baltzer Science Publishers, Baarn/Kluwer Academic Publishers; J.C. Baltzer AG, Science Publishers ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1996-12)
Many practical decision problems involve both nonlinear relationships and uncertainties. The resulting stochastic nonlinear programs become quite difficult to solve as the number of possible scenarios increases. In this ...
A simple proof of a primal affine scaling method
(Baltzer Science Publishers, Baarn/Kluwer Academic Publishers; J.C. Baltzer AG, Science Publishers ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1996-12)
In this paper, we present a simpler proof of the result of Tsuchiya and Muramatsu on the convergence of the primal affine scaling method. We show that the primal sequence generated by the method converges to the interior ...
Evaluation and derivation of process plans in turning
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag London Limited, 1996-05)
The objective of this paper is to formalize process planning selection to minimise the total processing time and the total number of processing steps. The study is performed by defining the processes and part description ...

Corporate Judo
(Sage Publications, 1996)
Corporate judo is an innovative approach to increased growth, market share, and profitability. In this paper the authors present a framework for applying judo to competitors that have recently undergone a merger, acquisition, ...
The primal power affine scaling method
(Baltzer Science Publishers, Baarn/Kluwer Academic Publishers; J.C. Baltzer AG, Science Publishers ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1996-12)
In this paper, we present a variant of the primal affine scaling method, which we call the primal power affine scaling method. This method is defined by choosing a real r >0.5, and is similar to the power barrier variant ...
