In this paper, we consider the multi-dimensional Kesten algorithm studied in Xu and Dai (2012). The convergence in rth mean for the algorithm is established under the weaker assumptions than Xu and Dai (2012). Moreover, we obtain also the almost sure convergence of the algorithm under the...

This dissertation contains two topics in operations research. The first topic is to design a distribution network to facilitate the repeated movement of shipments from many origins to many destinations. A method is developed to estimate transportation costs as a function of the number of...

This thesis advances game theory by formally analysing the implications of replacing some of its most stringent assumptions with alternatives that –at least in certain contexts– have received greater empirical support. Specifically, this thesis makes two distinct contributions in the field...
