Hoeomorphisms Of Triangulations With Applications To Computing Fixed Points, Daniel Solow

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

In the past decade various complementary pivoting algorithms have been developed to search for fixed points of certain functions and point to set maps. All these methods generate a sequence of simplexes which are "shrinking" to a point. This paper proposes a new method for shrinking the simplexes. It is shown that under certain conditions, the function whose fixed point is sought may be used to control this shrinking process. A computational method for implementing these ideas is also suggested and several examples are solved using this approach.

A User's Guide For A Computer System Containing A Search Enumeration Algorithm For The Radio Frequency Intermodulation (Rfi) Problem, Susumu Morito, Harvey M. Salkin, David E. Williams

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

This manual outlines two search enumeration (or backtrack) algorithms contained in the radio frequency intermodulation (RFI) backtrack code, RFIBCK, and presents user operating instructions and sample computer printouts. Program RFIBCK, written in FORTRAN, can be used to find the lowest order of a given intermodulation product for a fixed set of frequencies. Several randomly generated sample problems, together with their optimal solutions, are also included.

A Constrained Optimization Algorithm For Solving Certain Convex Systems Of Equations, Daniel Solow

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

The purpose of this research is to establish a computationally efficient algorithm for solving certain systems of convex equations. In the past, two basic approaches have been developed. The first approach is based on variations of Newton's method and requires rather stringent conditions on the system of equations whereas the second approach is based on the homotopic or continuation method which requires milder conditions for convergence. The approach in this work will be from an optimization standpoint and convergence will be established under reasonable conditions. In addition, a global algorithm for finding the zero of a convex real valued function …

A Study Of The Nurse Staffing Needs Of An Intensive Care Unit, N. G. Duraiswamy, R. Welton, Arnold Reisman

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

This paper discusses a study used to establish tradeoffs between the number of full-time registered nurses required to deliver safe nursing care in a 20-bed medical intensive care unit and the percentage of days a given planned staffing level will result in over and under staffing. Retrospective patient load and mix data were collected for a one-year period. These data were curve-fitted for each of four seasons and used in a computer-based simulation to obtain the staffing tradeoff tables.

Methods In Zero-Base Budgeting, Burton V. Dean

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

This paper provides the background, elements, and needs in Zero-Base Budgeting. A brief review of the historical development of Zero-Base Budgeting in this decade and a description of how ZBB evolved from other budgeting systems are presented. The basic elements of the ZBB process and the types of information required are prescribed. The needs in ZBB are presented, based on organizational use of this process. Methods for incorporating resource allocation and ranking techniques are indicated. With the increasing use of ZBB in organizations, both in public and private sectors, there will be an opportunity to introduce such methods into the …

Using Integer Programming To Detect The Significant Sources Of Radio Frequency Intermodulation Interference, Susumu Morito, Harvey M. Salkin

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

The radio frequency communication environment in naval vessels, aircraft, space vehicles, and satellites has become increasingly complex as more transmitters and receivers are added to perform multiple functions. Various types of interference in the electromagnetic spectrum pose a serious threat to accurate and reliable communication systems. An interesting and important type of interference is intermodulation, which is amenable to mathematical study. After presenting the technological background and an important application in naval fleet scenarios, a heuristic algorithm for the resulting model—an integer program with a single constraint and unrestricted variables—is presented. The solution to the model may be used to …

A Follow-Up Study Of The Distributive Education Graduates Of Sky View High School 1972-1976, Thomas J. Broberg

All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023

Distributive education is an instructional program that is designed to prepare people for careers in the distributive or marketing sector of the economy. Crawford and Meyer give a generally accepted definition of distributive education as:

... a vocational instructional program designed to meet the needs of persons who have entered or are preparing to enter a distributive occupation or an occupation requiring competency in one or more of the marketing functions. It offers instructions in marketing, merchandising, related management, and personal development (Crawford and Meyer, 1972, p.2)

Educators in the distributive education field traditionally have agreed that the curriculum should …

A Survey Of The Applications Of Quantitative Techniquest In Radio Communication Interference Problems, Susumu Morito, Harvey M. Salkin

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

This study explores the application of quantitative techniques to address radio and radar interference in congested electromagnetic environments. The models analyze factors such as transmitter spurious emissions, receiver spurious responses, intermodulation between transmitters and receivers, adjacent and cochannel interference, cross-modulation interference, receiver desensitization, and saturation. Key controllable variables include transmitter and receiver frequencies, transmitter power, and equipment location. The primary objective is to minimize unwanted interference in these systems. To achieve this, the study employs advanced problem-solving methods, including linear programming, integer programming, dynamic programming, and heuristics. This work provides a systematic framework for managing interference in complex electromagnetic networks, …

Incorporating Time-Lag Effects Into The Expectancy Model Of Motivation: A Reformulation Of The Model, Bronston T. Mayes

Department of Management: Faculty Publications

Of cognitive theories of motivation, the most intensively researched in recent years is the Valence-Instrumentality-Expectancy (VIE) theory. A recent review of VIE research (9) shows the valence model to be reasonably predictive of occupational preference, job satisfaction, and valence of performance. The behavioral choice model has not fared so well; although it moderately predicts self-ratings of job effort, its efficiency in predicting criteria measured by other then self-ratings is questionable. When the behavioral choice model is used in research, the following findings are typical:

1. Intrinsic outcomes (feelings of accomplishment, etc.) are better predictors of satisfaction and performance than are …

A Survey Of Static Job Shop Scheduling Theory, Hamilton Emmons

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

This paper explores the current theoretical understanding of static job shop scheduling, focusing on assigning tasks to processors while optimizing objectives such as timing and sequence. Tasks, characterized by parameters like processing time and due dates, may form dependent groups (jobs) or remain independent. The study distinguishes job shop scheduling from broader scheduling fields such as production and manpower scheduling. Combinatorial challenges in this domain have been extensively studied, with optimal scheduling rules available for simpler cases, while complex problems often rely on computationally intensive algorithms. The paper outlines efficient algorithms with polynomial time complexity and highlights insights from complexity …

Paying Unemployment Compensation Taxes And Solving The Complete Set Partitioning Problem, Chien-Hua Lin, Harvey M. Salkin

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

It is shown that under certain regulations specified by state law, there is an optimal way for a corporation to pay unemployment compensation taxes. The particular scenario is given along with the natural model which turns out to be a set partitioning problem having all possible nonzero binary columns in the constraint matrix. A highly specialized enumerative algorithm, which never requires the explicit maintenance of the model, is also presented. Computational results and their impact, reflecting recent data from several Ohio based corporations, are listed.
