Relatively simple iterative procedures are developed for simulating the queue length distribution for transient bulk arrival, bulk service queues. The method allows the study of holding strategies where the length of time a vehicle is held can depend on both the length ofthe queue and how long...

In this paper, we study a dynamic fleet management problem with uncertain demands and customer chosen service levels. We first show that the problem can be transformed into a dynamic network with partially dependent random arc capacities, and then develop a structural decomposition approach...

In the controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) treatment, clinicians monitor the patients’ physiological responses to gonadotropin administration to tradeoff between pregnancy probability and ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). We formulate the dosage control problem in the COH...
