This paper considers the allocation of resources, i.e., the amount of working hours of healthcare professionals (like physicians, nurses, clerks, social workers, nutritionists, pharmacists, etc.), to teams facing a stochastic demand in a Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH). To handle this...

This research examines the structural properties of the macroscopic model introduced in [AlShelahi and Saigal, 2018]. We present a theoretical analysis of the behavior of the macroscopic variables. In particular, we show that the model exhibits shock-like solutions, providing a new narrative for...

Early deployment of automated vehicles (AVs) may likely cause a loss of efficiency of the transportation system. However, after there are a sufficient number of such vehicles in the traffic stream, many benefits can be realized. It thus appears sensible to provide subsidies to promote the early...

Semidefinite programming (SDP) is one of the most exciting and active research areas in optimization. It has and continues to attract researchers with very diverse backgrounds, including experts in convex programming, linear algebra, numerical optimization, combinatorial optimization, control...

In Linear Programming: A Modern Integrated Analysis, both boundary (simplex) and interior point methods are derived from the complementary slackness theorem and, unlike most books, the duality theorem is derived from Farkas's Lemma, which is proved as a convex separation theorem. The tedium of...
