This paper demonstrates a robust approach to general manager computer use. The approach is shown to systematically integrate a diverse collection of user selected applications. It is implemented through the use of currently available shareware and public domain software at low cost. The...

The code MINNLP, or Minnesota Linear Programming, is an interactive linear programming algorithm which is efficient in the use of computer storage space and computational time. It is also easy to use and contains matrix modification options.

The Objectives of this paper are: (1) to introduce the concept of spline functions; and (2) to account for complete and partial non-reversibility with spline functions. This paper illustrates this approach using a supply response example.

Dynamic programming models with continuous state and control variables are solved approximately using numerical methods in most applications. We develop a method for measuring the accuracy of numerical solution of stochastic dynamic programming models. Using this method, we compare the accuracy...
