An overview of lexicographic choice under uncertainty
(Baltzer Science Publishers, Baarn/Kluwer Academic Publishers; J.C. Baltzer AG, Scientific Publishing Company ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1989-12)
This overview focuses on lexicographic choice under conditions of uncertainty. First, lexicographic versions of traditional (von Neumann-Morgenstern) expected utility theory are described where the usual Archimedean axiom ...
A multicut algorithm for two-stage stochastic linear programs
(Elsevier, 1988-03)
Outer linearization methods, such as Van Slyke and West's L-shaped method for stochastic linear programs, generally apply a single cut on the nonlinear objective at each major iteration. The structure of stochastic programs ...
A GPSS/H model for a hypothetical flexible manufacturing system
(Baltzer Science Publishers, Baarn/Kluwer Academic Publishers; J.C. Baltzer Scientific Publishing Company ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1985-04)
A GPSS/H model is presented for a hypothetical flexible manufacturing system. The FMS consists of six machines composed of three machine types, manufactures three types of parts, and uses automatic guided vehicles (AGVs) ...
Reducing work-in-process inventory in certain classes of flexible manufacturing systems
(Elsevier, 1986-08)
In this paper, we establish that maintaining a balanced workload on each machine over time stochastically minimizes the work-in-process inventory in certain types of flexible manufacturing systems (FMSs) with finite or ...
Multi-stage production with variable lot sizes and transportation of partial lots
(Elsevier, 1984-08)
This paper describes a model for a multi-stage production/inventory system where lots may be of different sizes. In addition, either completed lots or partial lots, called batches, may be transported to succeeding stages. ...
Rate distortion lower bound for a special class of nonlinear estimation problems
(Elsevier, 1989-04)
A rate distortion lower bound of minimum mean square error is presented for a special class of discrete time nonlinear filtering problems which have measurements that can be expressed as a memoryless nonlinear function of ...
The optimality of balancing workloads in certain types of flexible manufacturing systems
(Elsevier, 1985-04)
Symmetric mathematical programming is used to analyze the optimality of balancing workloads to maximize the expected production in a single-server closed queuing network model of a flexible manufacturing system (FMS). In ...
Certainty equivalence control with forcing: revisited
(Elsevier, 1989-12)
Certainty equivalence control with forcing has been shown to be optimal for several stochastic adaptive control problems with the average cost per unit time criterion. Recently researchers have started looking at stochastic ...
