We define the base polytope B(P, g) of a partially ordered set P and a supermodular function g on the ideals ofP as the convex hull of the incidence vectors of all linear extensio...
Iterative algorithms aimed at solving some problems are discussed. For certain problems, such as finding a common point in the intersection of a finite number of convex sets, there...
This paper considers a manufacturer selling to a newsvendor retailer that possesses superior demand-forecast information. We show that the manufacturer's expected profit is c...
In this paper, we address the problem of image sequence segmentation with dynamical shape priors. While existing formulations are typically based on hard decisions, we propose a fo...
The stochastic knapsack has been used as a model in wide ranging applications from dynamic resource allocation to admission control in telecommunication. In recent years, a variat...
