In the recent work of Dempster, Evstigneev and Taksar (2006) it has been shown that the von Neumann-Gale model of economic dynamics can serve as a convenient and natural framework for the analysis of questions of asset pricing and hedging under transaction costs. The present article focuses on a...

We consider two control problems on a finite horizon; one stochastic and the other deterministic. In both problems the running cost and the terminal cost are the same. The controllable input in both problems is of an additive nature with cost proportional to the input (which can be both positive...

We consider a problem of controlling the production rate of a single machine, single product, stochastic manufacturing system in order to minimize the total discounted inventory /backlog costs. The demand has two components: one is deterministic with constant rate d and the other is stochastic...

This paper is concerned with the problem of production planning in a flexible manufacturing system consisting of a single or parallel failure-prone machines producing a number of different products. The objective is to choose the rates of production of the various products over time in order to...
