This paper studies an arc routing problem with capacity constraints and time-dependent service costs. This problem is motivated by winter gritting applications where the ‘‘tim...

A simultaneous perturbation stochastic approximation (SPSA) method has been developed in this paper, using the operators of perturbation with the Lipschitz density function. This ...
The unconstrained quadratic binary program (UQP) is proving to be a successful modeling and solution framework for a variety of combinatorial optimization problems. Experience rep...

The aim of this work is to present a numerical measure of the importance of each player in a cooperative game when the cooperation possibilities are limited according to the links...
In this note, we consider a variation of the economic order quantity (EOQ) model where cumulative holding cost is a nonlinear function of time. This problem has been studied by We...
This paper proposes a multiple dependent (or deferred) state sampling plan by variables for the inspection of normally distributed quality characteristics. The decision upon the a...
In a recent paper, Savas, Batta and Nagi [14] consider the optimal placement of a finite-sized facility in the presence of arbitrarily-shaped barriers under rectilinear travel. T...
This paper considers the problem of designing districts for vehicle routing problems with stochastic demands. In particular, demands are assumed to be uncertain at the time when t...
