We consider the problem of scheduling multiple projects subject to joint resource constraints.All approaches proposed in the literature so far are based on the assumption that resources canbe transferred from one project to the other without any expense in time or cost. In many realworldsettings...

Die Vorteilhaftigkeit von Leasingverträagen aus Sicht des Leasinggebers wirdstark durch deren Refinanzierung beinulußt. Zur Vermeidung gewerbesteuerlicherHinzurechnungen werden viele Leasingprojekte durch Forfaitierung der Leasingratenrefinananziert. Der Leasinggeber muß den...

In this paper, we consider an investor who plays in a market that involves a risky asset whose instantaneous rate of return changes at unknown random times. This return rate is assumed to follow the law of a Compound Poisson Process. We construct optimal mathematical strategies in this context...

We develop an algorithm to compute asset allocations for Kahneman and Tversky's (1979) prospect theory. An application to benchmark data as in Fama and French (1992) shows that the equity premium puzzle is resolved for parameter values similar to those found in the laboratory experiments of...

The project investigates possibilities to reduce energy and water consumption of usedwashing machines. The idea behind is, that upgraded washing machines do not haveinevitably environmental advantages compared to new washing machines, as the latterusually consume much less energy and resources...

The edge-set encoding is a direct encoding for trees which directly representstrees as sets of edges. In contrast to indirect representations, whereusually standard operators are applied to a list of strings and the resultingphenotype is constructed by an appropriate genotype-phenotypemapping,...

Die Abteilungsgliederung als ein Element der Aufbauorganisation stand vor einigerZeit im Mittelpunkt einer Reihe von Optimierungsansätzen. Diese Ansätze konzentriertensich in der Regel auf einzelne Zielsetzungen. In den letzten Jahren ist dasThema jedoch kaum weiterentwickelt worden. Dieser...

In this paper some notions of generalized derivatives for C(1,1) functions are introduced and studied.
