This book deals with dynamic timing decisions under uncertainty in the context of exhaustible resources. Adopting the dynamic programming techniqueof decomposing a large and complex problem into smaller and simpler ones, the book offers a unified treatment of the important subjects of...

This book deals with lotsizing and scheduling and shows how to determine the size and sequence of lots for a production facility at minimal costs with respect on demand and capacity constraints. Lotsizing is of growing importance in research, teaching, and practice. The discussion of existing...

The main subject of this book is empirical application of multivariate linear time series model on quarterly or month- ly economic data to discoverand describe important dynamic relationships between the variables of interest. The book stresses "real-life" application and the selection of data...

Generalizations of the classical concept of a convex function have been proposed in various fields such as economics, management science, engineering, statistics and applied sciences during the second half of this century. In addition to new results in more established areas of generalized...

In the last 25 years, the fuzzy set theory has been applied in many disciplines such as operations research, management science, control theory, artificial intelligence/expert system, etc. In this volume, methods and applications of crisp, fuzzy and possibilistic multiple objective decision...

This book presents an integrated model for production planning and scheduling as well as a lot-streaming procedure for job-shop scheduling. Of particular interest is the consistency of the decisions taken at the planning and scheduling levels as well as the simple iterative method of resolution....

The subject of the book is project scheduling under resource-constraints. Several well-known scheduling problems, like e.g. the job-shop-scheduling and the assembly line balancing problem, are embedded in the mathematical programming formulation used. Exact solution procedures for a broad class...

This book takes three different approaches to the two-person bargaining problem with incomplete information: The game theoretic analysis, the study of the spontaneous behavior of subjects in a game playing experiment, and the investigation of strategies programmed by highly experienced subjects...
