We numerically solve the classical "Game of Pure Strategy" using linear programming. We notice an intricate even-odd behaviour in the results of our computations that seems to encourage odd or maximal bids.

Proper planning and management of irrigation is vital in achieving food security for the burgeoning global population and sustaining livelihoods. Because irrigated agriculture is expected to provide more food, if managed properly. The comprehensive reviews on the use of various programming...

Combining concrete policy-oriented modeling strategies of World War II with what was received as traditional neoclassical theory, in 1956 Robert Solow constructed a simple, clean, and smooth-functioning “design” model that served many different purposes. As a working object it enabled...

We study the problem of optimally controlling a multiserver queueing system. Customers arrive in a Poisson fashion and join a single queue, served by N servers, S 1 ,S 2 ,… , S N . The servers have different rates. The service times at each server are independent and exponentially distributed....

This paper describes theNeighbourhood Search, an effectivemethod that we suggest for constructing Pareto sets in multiple objective problems with conegenerated orders. TheNeighbourhood Search is then applied to discounted Markov Decision Processes, resulting in original statements about...

Sugarcane in a perennial crop harvested annually over a six-month season from June to December. Each crop cycle consists of a plant crop followed by several ratoon crops. Time of harvest influences both commercial cane sugar (CCS) content in the current season and yield in the following season....

The Namoi river catchment in northern NSW is an important irrigation region. Water resources in this region are increasingly stressed. Both surface and groundwater supplies are overallocated in many areas of the catchment. Management options to reduce allocations in line with available supply...

This paper presents a survey of simulation and optimization modeling approaches used in reservoir systems operation problems. Optimization methods have been proved of much importance when used with simulation modeling and the two approaches when combined give the best results. The main objective...
