We study reliable multinomial probabilistic group testing models with incomplete identification. We assume that every of the pooled items has none or some of k attributes, one of them causing contamination. Any group possessing this latter attribute is discarded, while the others are collected...

This paper is devoted to the theory of perishable inventory systems. In such systems items arrive and stay ‘on the shelf’ until they are either taken by a demand or become outdated. Our aim is to survey, extend and enrich the probabilistic analysis of a large class of such systems. A...
