All-Integer Integer Programming Algorithms Applied To Tableaux With Rational Coefficients, Harvey M. Salkin, Shailesh J. Mehta, Pradip H. Shroff Apr 1973

All-Integer Integer Programming Algorithms Applied To Tableaux With Rational Coefficients, Harvey M. Salkin, Shailesh J. Mehta, Pradip H. Shroff

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

It is shown that an initial all integer tableau is not necessary to the convergence of primal all-integer integer programming algorithms. It is well known that an analogous result holds for Gomory's dual all integer method, where only the cost row is required to be integer. We also show that the cost row need not be integer for the convergence of Gomory's dual all integer method.

Expanded Dental Practice Management: Economics And Scheduling - Progress Report I, Arnold Reisman, Hamilton Emmons, Ronald Occhionero, Edward J. Green, Susumu Morito, Shailesh J. Mehta, Thomas S. Nunnikhoven

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

Efficient management of a dental practice involves many complex and interacting decisions. Primary decisions involve the size of the practice; that is, the number of operatories and the numbers of workers of various skills. A complicating factor in this regard is the introduction of the expanded duty auxiliary, or dental nurse, a new category of para or allied professional. Integration into practice of this new worker increases the number of available options. Case Western Reserve University School of Dentistry is one of several dental schools pioneering the TEAM Concept. Dental students are being trained to use expanded duty auxiliaries, and …

Service Time Partitioning To Minimize Mean Flow Time, R. Chandrasekaran, Hamilton Emmons, S. Subba Rao Apr 1973

Service Time Partitioning To Minimize Mean Flow Time, R. Chandrasekaran, Hamilton Emmons, S. Subba Rao

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

This study investigates strategies for managing variable patient arrival rates in hospital outpatient clinics, particularly during peak times when waiting rooms overflow. A potential solution, inspired by scheduling theory, is partitioning patients by service time, with a focus on minimizing mean flow time (the total wait and service time). Using a stochastic scheduling model, the study explores a "quick service counter" approach where customers with shorter processing times are served by dedicated servers, preserving seniority to ensure fairness. Service times are assumed observable in advance, as in scenarios like supermarket checkout or preliminary hospital screening. The model simplifies complex queueing …

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.

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 : 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" …

Feasibility Of The Universal City Counter-Culture Complex, Economics Research Associates Jan 1973

Feasibility Of The Universal City Counter-Culture Complex, Economics Research Associates

Harrison "Buzz" Price Papers

This report was prepared by Economics Research Associates (ERA) for MCA Recreation Services in 1973. MCA was interested in developing an evening entertainment complex on 2.5 acres of prime property adjacent to the Universal City tour center and its existing parking facilities. Included in the concept were a multiple-screen movie theater, a cabaret featuring folk rock music, an outdoor entertainment plaza area, and a discotheque offering hard rock music and dancing. The inclusion of a small legitimate theater and supporting restaurant facilities has also been considered. These facilities would be integrated with the existing amphitheater and would be improved by …
