Flow line design is one of the major tasks in production management. The decision to install a set of machines and buffers is often highly irreversible. It determines both cost and revenue to a large extent. In order to assess the economic impact of any possible flow line design, production...

This book presents recent developments in the field of ill-posed variational problems and variational inequalities, covering a large range of theoretical, numerical and practical aspects. The main topics are: - Regularization techniques for equilibrium and fixed point problems, variational...

Traffic flow dynamics is a hot topic in transportation planning and operations research. By verifying the asymmetric property of the dynamic link travel time function and identifying the inflow, exit flow and number of vehicles on a physical link as three different states over time, a...
