A Branch-First, Cut-Second Approach for Locomotive Assignment

Ziarati, Koorush; Soumis, François; Desrosiers, Jacques; … - In: Management Science 45 (1999) 8, pp. 1156-1168

The problem of assigning locomotives to trains consists of selecting the types and number of engines that minimize the fixed and operational locomotive costs resulting from providing sufficient power to pull trains on fixed schedules. The force required to pull a train is often expressed in...

A decomposition approach for undiscounted two-person zero-sum stochastic games

Avsar, Zeynep Müge; Baykal-Gürsoy, Melike - In: Computational Statistics 49 (1999) 3, pp. 483-500

action spaces are assumed finite. By making use of the concept of maximal communicating classes, the following decomposition … independently. It is shown that the proposed decomposition algorithm is exact in the sense that the solution obtained from the … decomposition procedure gives the best stationary strategies for the original stochastic game.

Asymptotic arbitrage in large financial markets

Kabanov, Y.M.; Kramkov, D.O. - In: Finance and Stochastics 2 (1998) 2, pp. 143-172

A large financial market is described by a sequence of standard general models of continuous trading. It turns out that the absence of asymptotic arbitrage of the first kind is equivalent to the contiguity of sequence of objective probabilities with respect to the sequence of upper envelopes of...

A Local Parameterization of Orthogonal and Semi-Orthogonal Matrices with Applications

Boik, Robert J. - In: Journal of Multivariate Analysis 67 (1998) 2, pp. 244-276

This article describes a local parameterization of orthogonal and semi-orthogonal matrices. The parameterization leads to a unified approach for obtaining the asymptotic joint distributions of estimators of singular-values and -vectors, and of eigen-values and -vectors. The singular- or...

Solution and Estimation of RE Macromodels with Optimal Policy

Söderlind, Paul - Economics Institute for Research (SIR), … - 1998

Macro models of monetary policy typically involve forward looking behavior. Except in rare circumstances, we have to apply some numerical method to find the the optimal policy and the rational expectations equilibrium. This paper summarizes a few useful methods, and shows how they can be...
