On simulating arbitrary eventsTop - Tập 11 - Trang 131-140 - 2003
Marcel F. Neuts, Jun Guo
In simulation studies, the distributional properties of random variables
associated witharbitrary events in point processes, queues, and other stochastic
models are to be understood as appropriate averages over long simulation runs.
We caution against trying to generate arbitrary events explicitly by some
randomized selection. Because of the likelihood of hidden selection biases, that

A simple and effective algorithm for the maximum happy vertices problemTop - - 2022
Marco Ghirardi, Fabio Salassa
AbstractIn a recent paper, a solution approach to the Maximum Happy Vertices
Problem has been proposed. The approach is based on a constructive heuristic
improved by a matheuristic local search phase. We propose a new procedure able
to outperform the previous solution algorithm both in terms of solution quality
and computational time. Our approach is based on simple ingredients implying as

An integrated inventory model with quality improvement and two-part credit policyTop - Tập 22 - Trang 1042-1061 - 2014

Trade credit financing plays a vital role in current business operations.
Vendors extend payment dates to encourage sales, and buyers are not required to
pay immediately after receiving products. This is equivalent to receiving a
price reduction. Besides, buyers reduce their need for capital from bank loans.
In addition, a number of defective products are produced during the production
process. Th... hiện toàn bộ
A note on assignment games with the same nucleolusTop - Tập 27 - Trang 187-198 - 2019
F. Javier Martínez-de-Albéniz, Carlos Rafels, Neus Ybern
We show that the family of assignment matrices which give rise to the same
nucleolus forms a compact join-semilattice with one maximal element. The above
family is, in general, not a convex set, but path-connected.
The target visitation arc routing problemTop - Tập 30 - Trang 60-76 - 2021
Jessica Rodríguez-Pereira, Gilbert Laporte
This paper studies the target visitation arc routing problem on an undirected
graph. This problem combines the well-known undirected rural postman problem and
the linear ordering problem. In this problem, there is a set of required edges
partitioned into targets, which must be traversed and there are pairwise
preferences for the order in which some targets are serviced, which generates a

Infimal convolution, c-subdifferentiability, and Fenchel duality in evenly convex optimizationTop - - 2011
M. D. Fajardo, J. Vicente-Pérez, M. M. L. Rodríguez
In this paper we deal with strong Fenchel duality for infinite-dimensional
optimization problems where both feasible set and objective function are evenly
convex. To this aim, via perturbation approach, a conjugation scheme for evenly
convex functions, based on generalized convex conjugation, is used. The key is
to extend some well-known results from convex analysis, involving the sum of the
