Solving some deterministic finite horizon inventory models
Journal Title: Operations Research and Decisions - Year 2013, Vol 23, Issue 1
Abstract
Two single-item, deterministic, continuous, finite horizon inventory models having no shortage have been considered. A demand rate function, which is relatively general, for the item has been assumed. In the first model, units of the item do not deteriorate; while in the second units deteriorate in a constant fraction rate. Some optimality conditions are shown for the models. Based on these properties, single variable search methods have been described to obtain globally optimal solutions. Numerical experiments indicate that the methods yield acceptable solutions within small time and are suitable for practical applications.

Elimination of dominated strategies and inessential players
We study the process, called the IEDI process, of iterated elimination of (strictly) dominated strategies and inessential players for finite strategic games. Such elimination may reduce the size of a game considerably, f...
Analysis of complex decision problems based on cumulative prospect theory
Complex risky decision problems involve sequences of decisions and random events. The choice at a given stage depends on the decisions taken in the previous stages, as well as on the realizations of the random events tha...
Analysis of the voting method used in the European Central Bank
Game theoreticians usually deal with standard voting methods such as plurality voting or approval voting. In reality however, some complicated non-standard voting methods are used. In this paper the voting method and rot...

Decisions regarding agricultural production involve multiple goals. A multicriteria approach al-lows decision makers to consider more aspects of the decision scenario, although it also leads to other problems, such as di...
Robust bi-level optimization for an opportunistic supply chain network design problem in an uncertain and risky environment
This paper introduces the problem of designing a single-product supply chain network in an agile manufacturing setting under a vendor managed inventory (VMI) strategy to seize a new market oppor-tunity. The problem addre...
