On The Next-To-Dominating Eigenvalues Of A Markov Matrix, Teunis J. Ott Mar 1976

On The Next-To-Dominating Eigenvalues Of A Markov Matrix, Teunis J. Ott

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

It is proven that two matrices, each of which has the property that all its rowsums are equal, and which have the property that one can be obtained from the other by adding, for every column, the same number to all elements of that column, have essentially the same set of eigenvalues. This result is used to give an upper bound for the absolute value of the "next-to-dominating" eigenvalue of a markov matrix. The two foregoing results together are used to suggest an iterative procedure for the value-determination step in markov-decision processes.

A Methodology For Forecasting Patient Load For A Dental Practice, Arnold Reisman, Hamilton Emmons, Edward J. Green, Ronald Occhionero, Keki R. Dadachanji, Susumu Morito Mar 1976

A Methodology For Forecasting Patient Load For A Dental Practice, Arnold Reisman, Hamilton Emmons, Edward J. Green, Ronald Occhionero, Keki R. Dadachanji, Susumu Morito

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

This paper describes a methodology to forecast the patient load in a dental practice. Three different situations are treated individually: Forecasting in a new practice, forecasting in an established practice, and forecasting during merger. The paper presents both the mathematical models used in forecasting and a set of forms (similar in format to the Internal Revenue Service 1040 forms) which can be used to systematically compute the forecast value. Scheduling of patients and operatories [4,12] and economic analysis of a dental practice [6] require a dependable forecast of the patient load. This paper is intended to help the dentist make …

Nonlinear Programming And An Optimization Problem On Infinitely Differentiable Functions, Vasant A. Ubhaya Mar 1976

Nonlinear Programming And An Optimization Problem On Infinitely Differentiable Functions, Vasant A. Ubhaya

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

This paper was originally titled "Extremum Problems on the Space of Infinitely Differentiable Functions, I”. A nonnegative, infinitely differentiable function φ defined on the real line is called a Friedrichs mollifier function if it has support in [0,1] and ∫₀¹ φ(t)dt = 1. In this article and a sequel [18], the following problem is considered: Determine Ak = inf ∫₀¹ φ(k)(t)dt, k=1,2,..., where φ(k) denotes the kth derivative of φ and the infimum is taken over the set of all mollifier functions, which is a convex set. This problem has applications to monotone polynomial approximation as shown by this author …

Simulation Models Applied To Dental Practice Management: A Survey, Susumu Morito, Arnold Reisman, Hamilton Emmons, Edward J. Green, Ronald Occhionero Mar 1976

Simulation Models Applied To Dental Practice Management: A Survey, Susumu Morito, Arnold Reisman, Hamilton Emmons, Edward J. Green, Ronald Occhionero

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

The purpose of this paper is to review recently completed and ongoing work in the field of simulation applied to dental practice management in general and problems of scheduling patients, workers and operatories in particular. In dentistry, as in many other areas of health care delivery, rapid changes are coming about. Practices are moving toward an increasing prevalence of group practices and to the introduction of new categories of allied professionals. These factors, plus the increased demand for dental care that may be anticipated in the coming years, are making it ever harder, and ever more important, to find solutions …

Computer Graphics As An Aid To Teaching Geometric Transformations, Sister Joseph K. Mcadams, Arlan R. Dekock Feb 1976

Computer Graphics As An Aid To Teaching Geometric Transformations, Sister Joseph K. Mcadams, Arlan R. Dekock

Business and Information Technology Faculty Research & Creative Works

During the past several years, there has been much discussion and controversy over what should be taught in high school mathematics, in general, and in high school geometry, in particular. Numerous mathematicians have encouraged the teaching of transformations as part of the standard high school mathematics curriculum[1-4,6-9]. The results of a recent survey of high school teachers of mathematics indicate that 19% have taught geometric transformations, 26% feel adequately prepared to teach such a topic, and 50% would like to teach the topic if materials were available for the average college prep student[5].

Sequencing Jobs For A Single Worker To Process And Deliver, R. Chandrasekaran, Hamilton Emmons Feb 1976

Sequencing Jobs For A Single Worker To Process And Deliver, R. Chandrasekaran, Hamilton Emmons

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

The problem of sequencing n jobs on one processor is considered, under the additional assumption that jobs are not completed until delivered. A single worker does both the processing and delivery, and deliveries can take place in batches following the completion of any job. Several special cases of this general class of problems are motivated, formulated, and solved.

Direct Costing Vs. Absorption Costing: A Historical Review, Gyan Chandra, Jacob Bernard Paperman Jan 1976

Direct Costing Vs. Absorption Costing: A Historical Review, Gyan Chandra, Jacob Bernard Paperman

Accounting Historians Journal

Various accounting practices, based on the same accounting concepts and principles, have been developed to satisfy the multiple and changing needs of the users of accounting reports. Direct and absorption costing are two such accounting practices. Controversy continues to exist as to which of these two costing methods is better for decision making purposes and for reporting to the users of accounting information. The objective of this paper is to dwell upon the historical nature of the controversy and build a case for a method of costing that rests on economic logic and realities of the market place.

How Wrong Was Sombart?, Kenneth S. Most Jan 1976

How Wrong Was Sombart?, Kenneth S. Most

Accounting Historians Journal

Werner Sombart, a political economist of some note, was born and died in Germany. He studied law, economics, history and philosophy at the Universities of Berlin, Rome, and Pisa, and eventually became professor of economics in Berlin. The so-called "Sombart Propositions" have received considerable attention in recent accounting literature. In fact, Sombart went so far as to state that the introduction of accounting was of the highest importance for the development of capitalism, and clearly, such perception deserves special study.

Properties Of A Dynamic Measure Of Industrial Concentration, Thomas Edward Billings Jan 1976

Properties Of A Dynamic Measure Of Industrial Concentration, Thomas Edward Billings

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

Several commonly used concentration measures are defined and discussed. The Grossack Model of Permanent Industrial Concentration and its three concentration indices are explained. Monte Carlo Techniques are used to generate synthetic data which is then used to compute theoretical values of the Grossack Model Indices. Values of other commonly used concentration indices are computed for comparison purposed. The Grossack Model Indices are then subjected to a variety of statistical tests. The results of these tests are presented and evaluated and a conclusion is drawn.
