Recently, an option-based capacity control process for the case of airline alliance revenue management with two partner airlines providing flight tickets on a single flight leg has been proposed. This previous work describes the determination of the booking limits as control variables for the...

An airline has to decide whether to accept an incoming customer request for a seat in the airplane or to reject it in hope that another customer will request the seat later at a higher price. Capacity control, as one of the instruments of revenue management, gives a solution to this decision...

Computing optimal capacity allocations in network revenue management is computationally hard. The problem of computing exact Nash equilibria in non-zero-sum games is computationally hard, too. We present a fast heuristic that, in case it cannot converge to an exact Nash equilibrium, computes an...

Airline alliances offer flights including flight legs operated by different airlines. A major problem is how to share the revenue obtained through selling a flight ticket among the airlines in a fair way. Recently, Kimms and Çetiner [1] have proposed fair revenue allocations based on the...

The population of an urban area may be in danger due to disasters like floods, hurricanes, chemical or nuclear accidents. This requires decisions to protect the affected population. One decision may be to evacuate the affected area. For the exceptional case of an evacuation an approach to...

Cooperative game theory defines several concepts for distributing outcome shares in a cooperative game with transferable utilities. One of the most famous solution concepts is the core which defines a set of outcome allocations that are stable such that no coalition has an incentive to leave the...

Real life situations like floods, hurricanes or chemical accidents may cause the evacuation of a certain area to rescue the affected population. To enable a fast and a safe evacuation a basic mixed-integer evacuation model has been developed that provides a reorganization of the traffic routing...

The logic of Manufacturing Resource Planning (MRP II) which is implemented in most modern production planning and control systems does not provide any satisfying solutions for multi-level lot sizing, especially not, when capacity is scare. Moreover, lot size and sequence decisions are usually...
