Operations research and management science are often confronted with sequential decision making problems with large state spaces. Standard methods that are used for solving such c...
An approach is proposed for generating homogenous three-staged cutting patterns for the constrained two-dimensional guillotinecutting problems of rectangles. It is based on branch...
Finding a feasible solution to a generic Mixed-Integer Program (MIP) is often a very difficult task. Recently, two heuristic approaches called Feasibility Pump and Local Branching...
In this paper we determine the optimal fraction c of the uplink channel capacity that should be dedicated to the contention channel in a DOCSIS cable network in order to minimize ...
This paper is concerned with procedures for ranking discrete alternatives when their values are evaluated precisely on multiple attributes and the attribute weights are known only...
