Competition and Optimization in Electricity Systems
(2014)
Electricity prices are characterized by high volatility and severe price spikes. At the root of these phenomena is the strategic behavior of market participants. A good understanding of the market competition is key to ...
Integrating facility location and production planning decisions
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2010-03)
We consider a metric uncapacitated facility location problem where we must assign each customer to a facility and meet the demand of the customer in future time periods through production and inventory decisions at the ...
Cultural clashes in a “merger of equals”: The case of high‐tech start‐ups
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2011-09)
Mergers of equals are often considered simply symbolic. Whereas existing literature on the topic views equality as underscoring the importance of distributive justice, power, or identity, the role of culture remains ...
Inducing Employees to Leave: A Comparison of Four Severance Options

This study examines the demographic, economic, and psychographic characteristics of 324 blue‐collar workers who were offered four options for either retirement or severance from the organization. Consistent with previous ...
Some Problems in Stochastic Control Theory Related to Inventory Management and Coarsening.
(2014)
In this dissertation, we study two stochastic control problems arising from inventory management and coarsening.
First, we study a stochastic production/inventory system with a finite production capacity and random demand. ...
MMA bulk polymerization and its influence on in situ resin viscosity comparing several chemorheological models
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2011-05-05)
Earlier published rheological data of methyl methacrylate (MMA) heated and isothermally polymerized at temperatures between 50 and 80°C have been reanalyzed using three semiempirical models of viscosity advancement including ...

Matching preclusion and conditional matching preclusion for bipartite interconnection networks I: Sufficient conditions
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2012-07)
The matching preclusion number of a graph is the minimum number of edges whose deletion results in a graph that has neither perfect matchings nor almost‐perfect matchings. For many interconnection networks, the optimal ...
Matching preclusion and conditional matching preclusion for bipartite interconnection networks II: Cayley graphs generated by transposition trees and hyper‐stars
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2012-07)
The matching preclusion number of a graph with an even number of vertices is the minimum number of edges whose deletion results in a graph that has no perfect matchings. For many interconnection networks, the optimal sets ...
Linearly many faults in 2-tree-generated networks
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2010-03)
In this article we consider a class of Cayley graphs that are generated by certain 3-cycles on the alternating group A n . These graphs are generalizations of the alternating group graph A G n . We look at the ...
