Integer Programming : Dual Fractional Mixed Integer Programming (Gomory [2]), Harvey M. Salkin Apr 1973

Integer Programming : Dual Fractional Mixed Integer Programming (Gomory [2]), Harvey M. Salkin

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

This work represents the fourth chapter of a forthcoming textbook “Integer Programming” to be written by Harvey M. Salkin and published by Addison-Wesley. The cutting plane algorithm for the mixed integer program, developed by Ralph Gomory in 1960 and presented in this chapter, is a direct extension of the integer programming algorithm discussed in Chapter 3. Again, the intent is to whittle the feasible region down to one whose optimal vertex has integer values for the integer-constrained variables. As before, the cutting plane technique utilizes the dual simplex method and allows fractional numbers in computation and is thus classified as …

Heavy Traffic Analysis For Discrete Time Queues, S. Subba Rao Apr 1973

Heavy Traffic Analysis For Discrete Time Queues, S. Subba Rao

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

We say that a queue is in heavy traffic if the traffic intensity p is very close to unity. Heavy traffic studies of M/G/1 and G/G/1 are fairly well known when the arrival and service time distributions are continuous. The behavior of discrete time queues in heavy traffic which seems to have not been treated earlier, is the subject of this report.


Improved Delivery Of Library Materials: The Cleveland Experience, J.P. Herling, M.G. Fancher Beeler, Arnold Reisman, Burton V. Dean Apr 1973

Improved Delivery Of Library Materials: The Cleveland Experience, J.P. Herling, M.G. Fancher Beeler, Arnold Reisman, Burton V. Dean

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

This paper describes a project designed to improve services to library users by solving, through the application of operations research methods, a complex problem of delivery of library materials in an urban, multi-system library service region. Unique features, methodology, results and limitations are discussed in non-technical language.


Integer Programming : Dual Fractional Integer Programming (Gomory [10]), Harvey M. Salkin Apr 1973

Integer Programming : Dual Fractional Integer Programming (Gomory [10]), Harvey M. Salkin

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

This work represents the third chapter of a forthcoming textbook “Integer Programming” to be written by Harvey M. Salkin and published by Addison-Wesley. This chapter concerns itself with a cutting plane algorithm for the integer program which utilizes the dual simplex method and allows fractional numbers in computation - hence the "dual fractional" reference. We outline the basic approach for the integer program, extension to the mixed case appears in the next chapter.


Integer Programming : Primal All-Integer Programming (Glover [6], Young [12]), Harvey M. Salkin Apr 1973

Integer Programming : Primal All-Integer Programming (Glover [6], Young [12]), Harvey M. Salkin

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

This work represents the sixth chapter of a forthcoming textbook “Integer Programming” to be written by Harvey M. Salkin and published by Addison-Wesley.


Integer Programming : Dual All-Integer Integer Programming (Gomory [5]), Harvey M. Salkin Apr 1973

Integer Programming : Dual All-Integer Integer Programming (Gomory [5]), Harvey M. Salkin

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

This work represents the fifth chapter of a forthcoming textbook “Integer Programming” to be written by Harvey M. Salkin and published by Addison-Wesley. The cutting plane algorithm for the integer program presented in this chapter was developed by Ralph Gomory in 1960. Its similarity to the fractional method (Chapter 3) is principally due to the utilization of the lexicographic dual simplex method and to the maintenance of lexicographic positive columns in the tableau. The basic approach is, however, different from the fractional technique. There is no optimization, generating a constraint, reoptimization, etc. Rather, inequalities are generated at each iteration starting …

New Tools For Decision Making, Arnold Reisman, Robert Reich Mar 1973

New Tools For Decision Making, Arnold Reisman, Robert Reich

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

The complex nature of certain problems encountered in industry, government, and private institutions has produced a demand for procedures to aid management in improving the decision-making process. These procedures should weigh the relative trade-offs between alternatives and produce a course of action that will benefit the organization as a whole and not simply a unit thereof at the possible expense of other units. The development, during the last quarter of a century, of certain mathematical and/or statistical techniques along with the computational and data bank capabilities of present-day computers has further demonstrated the applicability of "NEW TOOLS FOR DECISION MAKING" …
