Mathematical Programming With Monotonic Constraint Functions, William P. Pierskalla Jan 1967

Mathematical Programming With Monotonic Constraint Functions, William P. Pierskalla

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

The mathematical programming problem -- find a non-negative n-vector x which maximizes f(x) subject to the constraints g^i(x) ≥ 0, i = 1,...,m -- is investigated where f(x) is assumed to be concave or strictly quasi-concave and the g^i(x) are monotonic increasing functions. It is shown that under certain conditions on g^i(x), the Kuhn-Tucker-Lagrange conditions are necessary and sufficient for the optimality of x*. It is also shown that the g^i(x) are an interesting class of functions since, among other properties, they are closed under non-negative addition, under the addition of any scalar, and under multiplication of non-negative members of …


A Model For Evaluating Costs Of Implementing Community Projects, Burton V. Dean, Samuel J. Mantel Jr. Jan 1967

A Model For Evaluating Costs Of Implementing Community Projects, Burton V. Dean, Samuel J. Mantel Jr.

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

As a contribution to the difficult problem of estimating costs and benefits for community projects, a model is developed which estimates the expected costs of implementation of projects that face community group opposition. The essential elements in the model are the careful enumeration of the opposition groups in a community and a classification and measurement of factors that are important in determining the magnitude and extent of opposition. The model includes the costs and risks of community project implementation, the relative importance of factors and groups, and the decision criteria used by the groups. A method of solution, examples, and …


Scheduling Vehicles In A Transportation Network, Roy Macdonald-Taylor Jan 1967

Scheduling Vehicles In A Transportation Network, Roy Macdonald-Taylor

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

The problem of scheduling vehicles in a transportation network consisting of the straight line with the two main stations at each and intermediate stations in between was investigated. The proposed high speed ground transport system in the northeast corridor between Boston and Washington was used as an example. The tool used was simulation on a computer and the basic approach was to develop scheduling decision rules, develop criteria to measure the effectiveness of the rules, apply the rules and evaluate the resultant schedules in terms of the measures of effectiveness. Some general and particular case conclusions are drawn.

An Additive Algorithm For Solving The Multi-Dimensional Assignment Problem, William P. Pierskalla Oct 1966

An Additive Algorithm For Solving The Multi-Dimensional Assignment Problem, William P. Pierskalla

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

An algorithm is proposed for the solution of the multi-index assignment problem. The algorithm is based on a tree search technique of the branch and bound variety. It uses dual subproblems to provide easily computed bounds for the primal assignment problem.


The Tri-Substitution Method For Obtaining Near-Optimal Solutions To The Three-Dimensional Assignment Problem, William P. Pierskalla Oct 1966

The Tri-Substitution Method For Obtaining Near-Optimal Solutions To The Three-Dimensional Assignment Problem, William P. Pierskalla

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

In a previous paper we presented an algorithm which will find the optimal solution to the multi-index assignment problem. That algorithm was based on branch and bound techniques and the search was performed over the entire tree of feasible solutions. It is not felt that that algorithm will be particularly efficient for certain large multi-dimensional assignment problems. Thus, we now present a method which will achieve a close-to-optimal (if not the optimal) solution in a reasonable amount of time for moderately large three-index assignment problems.

A Research Laboratory Performance Model, Burton V. Dean Sep 1966

A Research Laboratory Performance Model, Burton V. Dean

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

A mathematical model is developed for measuring and evaluating the performance of a research laboratory in meeting the needs to develop items that satisfy stated Army operational requirements. Three submodels are developed, with the overall laboratory model obtained through matrix multiplication. Illustrative examples have been created using Army research laboratory data. The model may be modified to include stochastic variables and data on the relative importance of projects and sciences.

Optimal Allocation Of Shunt Capacitors On A High-Voltage Transmission System, William A. Mccuskey Sep 1966

Optimal Allocation Of Shunt Capacitors On A High-Voltage Transmission System, William A. Mccuskey

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

The basic allocation procedure and the cycling procedure outlined above are tools which hopefully will be useful to the utility in its system planning. More research is necessary to (1) extend the present method to a full- scale optimization and (2) extend and modify the procedures to consider trade- offs in cost of capacitor allocation over time. The ultimate goal would be to develop a procedure which optimally planned both capacitor and generation capacity increases over a number of years. The procedures presented here are a step toward this goal.

A Method For Analyzing Urban Transportation Plan Implementation Problems, Burton V. Dean, Samuel J. Mantel Jr., Nathan D. Grundstein Jul 1966

A Method For Analyzing Urban Transportation Plan Implementation Problems, Burton V. Dean, Samuel J. Mantel Jr., Nathan D. Grundstein

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

This report describes a six month study performed jointly by Case Institute of Technology and Western Reserve University under the sponsorship of the Cleveland-Seven County Transportation Land Use Study (SCOTS). The specific research problem studied by the team, as defined by SCOTS, is how to obtain the cooperation of municipalities to solve regional transportation problems. The relative importance of this problem can best be stated by referring to a statement made by President Lyndon Johnson. This study is concerned with developing a quantitative approach towards analyzing social change in a technological activity - urban transportation. We consider that an urban …
