We derive the stationary distribution of the regenerative process W(t), t ≥ 0, whose cycles behave like an M / G / 1 workload process terminating at the end of its first busy period or when it reaches or exceeds level 1, and restarting with some fixed workload <InlineEquation ID="IEq3"> <EquationSource Format="TEX">$$a\in (0,1)$$</EquationSource> </InlineEquation>. The result is...</equationsource></inlineequation>

We investigate M/M/1/∞-systems with inventory management, continuous review, exponentially distributed lead times and backordering. We compute performance measures and derive optimality conditions under different order policies. For performance measures, which are not explicitly at hand, we...

An example is given to show that the necessary conditions of Theorem 4.5 [in Chen et al. Math Methods Oper Res 49:239–253, 1999] and Theorem 2.1 (i) [in Goh and Yang Eur J Oper Res 116:615–628, 1999] for (weak) vector equilibrium flows may not hold. New ξ-equilibrium and parametric...

In this note we study uncertainty sequencing situations, i.e., one-machine sequencing situations in which no initial order is specified. We associate cooperative games with these sequencing situations, study their core, and provide links with the classic sequencing games introduced by Curiel et...

We consider a Poisson process that is modulated in such a way that the arrival rate at any time depends on the state of a semi-Markov process. This presents an interesting generalization of Poisson processes with important implications in real life applications. Our analysis concentrates on the...

In this work, we apply the strong stability method to obtain an estimate for the proximity of the performance measures in the M/G/1 queueing system to the same performance measures in the M/M/1 system under the assumption that the distributions of the service time are close and the arrival flows...

We introduce the time-consistency concept that is inspired by the so-called “principle of optimality” of dynamic programming and demonstrate – via an example – that the conditional value-at-risk (CVaR) need not be time-consistent in a multi-stage case. Then, we give the formulation of...

The paper deals with the problem of discrete–time delta hedging and discrete-time option valuation by the Black–Scholes model. Since in the Black–Scholes model the hedging is continuous, hedging errors appear when applied to discrete trading. The hedging error is considered and a...

A Harsanyi payoff vector (see Vasil’ev in Optimizacija Vyp 21:30–35, 1978) of a cooperative game with transferable utilities is obtained by some distribution of the Harsanyi dividends of all coalitions among its members. Examples of Harsanyi payoff vectors are the marginal contribution...
