In this paper, we consider a "satisficing" criterion to solve two-person zero-sum games with random payoffs. In particular, a player wants to maximize the payoff level he can achieve with a specified confidence. The problem reduces to solving a nonconvex mathematical programming problem. The...

This paper discusses models for planning the social development of a country. These models are intended to provide some understanding and assessment of inter-temporal changes in social groups through industrial, educational, health, etc. opportunities and constraints over a time horizon. They...

This paper establishes sufficient conditions for decision rules to be optimal for two n-penod P-models of chance-constrained programming. The models considered are the triangular model with total probability constraints and the block triangular model with conditional probability constraints. It...
