Stochastic Games With Semi-Markovian Rewards, R. Chandrasekaran, K.P. K. Nair, S. Subba Rao
Stochastic Games With Semi-Markovian Rewards, R. Chandrasekaran, K.P. K. Nair, S. Subba Rao
Research Reports from the Department of Operations
This paper examines a two-person zero-sum stochastic game with a finite number of states and non-terminating transitions. Unlike prior studies that focus on Markovian reward structures, this work explores semi-Markovian reward structures, deriving the equations that the game's value must satisfy. The study develops convergent algorithms for finite and infinite transitions, considering scenarios with and without discounting. Potential extensions include nonzero-sum games and time-horizon analyses. The model serves as a generalization of Jewell's semi-Markovian decision process in a game-theoretic context and extends the non-terminating stochastic game framework of Hoffman and Karp. This research broadens the scope of stochastic games by …
Some Considerations Of A Queueing Model For Research And Development Project Flow, S. Subba Rao
Some Considerations Of A Queueing Model For Research And Development Project Flow, S. Subba Rao
Research Reports from the Department of Operations
The purpose of the present note is to consider the stochastic flow of projects in a Research and Development Organization. The flow of projects can be modeled as a stochastic network of queues. But the questions as to the details remain to be answered apart from the difficult and important question of how to analyze such systems. One has to concede that in the simplest case of time-homogeneous Poisson inputs exponential services and unlimited waiting space in between stations, the problem is solvable. But any relaxation of these conditions leads to new difficulties. Some of the problems raised in this …

On The Evaluation Of Shortage Costs For Inventory Control, Muhittin Oral, Michael S. Salvador, Arnold Reisman, Burton V. Dean
Research Reports from the Department of Operations
This paper summarizes work performed in evaluating shortage costs associated with stockouts for each of a manufacturer's seven thousand catalogued line items. A modified version of a decision tree model proposed by Yu Chang is employed in a determination of estimated unit shortage costs for a stratified random sample of items. The results are then extended to all items on the basis of an excellent correlation between the evaluated unit shortage costs and unit gross profits of the items in the sample.
Optimal Location Of A Single Service Center Of Certain Types, K.P. K. Nair
Optimal Location Of A Single Service Center Of Certain Types, K.P. K. Nair
Research Reports from the Department of Operations
Considering communities to be interconnected by road network, Hakimi provided a graph theoretic method for finding the optimal location of a single service center, such as hospital or police station, minimizing largest distance from the service center. The same problem is considered in this paper when the region to be served is represented by a convex polygon with finite number of corner points and the distance between any pair of points in the polygon is taken to be the straight path between the two points. This problem is shown to be exact in certain cases though in some other cases …

Harrison "Buzz" Price Papers
In 1970, Lion Country Safari, owned by National Leisure, Inc. operated two animal parks one in Florida and one in California. Lion Country Safari was looking for a third location at which to expand its operations; the Dallas, Texas, area had been tentatively selected as the location, and negotiations for a parcel of property on which to locate an attraction were under way. However, prior to making a final decision regarding this area, Economics Research Associates was retained to conduct an analysis and feasibility evaluation of the proposed Dallas attraction. The report has the following sections: 1) introduction, 2) summary …

Non Iterative Algorithm Form Solving Special Types Of Transportation Problems, Benjamin Lev
Non Iterative Algorithm Form Solving Special Types Of Transportation Problems, Benjamin Lev
Research Reports from the Department of Operations
Many transportation problems are such that, when origins and destinations are suitably indexed, the cost matrix contains elements along the main diagonal, a band above it, and a band below it, while the other elements of the cost matrix are infinite. A procedure has been developed which yields optimal solution to such tridiagonal problems in n steps for a n-origin, n-destination problem. A second model has been solved for a tridiagonal and a coupling column of the cost matrix. A third model, a four-diagonal one, has been partially solved. We suggested and showed a method to solve any other model …

Mp25 The Problem Of Freight Car Supply, John Richard Felton
Mp25 The Problem Of Freight Car Supply, John Richard Felton
Department of Agricultural Economics: Faculty Publications
As early as 1907 the Interstate Commerce Commission held extensive hearings on freight car shortages. At frequent intervals ever since, Congress and the commission have addressed themselves to the problem of freight car supply with considerable vigor but meager results. Allegations of an inadequate supply of freight cars have been widespread in recent years. The decline in the number of freight cars is easy to document: between 1959 and 1968, the number of cars used in grain transport (boxcars and covered hopper cars) declined by 26%. If, however, consideration is given to changes in car capacity and car miles …

On The Resource Allocation Problem With S-Shaped Utility Functions, Fabio M. Vicentini
On The Resource Allocation Problem With S-Shaped Utility Functions, Fabio M. Vicentini
Research Reports from the Department of Operations
A given amount "a" of a resource is allocated among n activities. A return Fi(xi) is obtained as a result of using xi units of the resource in activity "i". The problem is to find an allocation which maximizes the total return, that is, max Σ Fi(xi) s.t. Σ xi = a, xi ≥ 0 . In this paper we examine this well known problem under the assumption that the Fi's are "s-shaped" functions. In an economic context this assumption means that small allocations lead to essentially zero returns while large ones have a saturation effect, the "law of diminishing …
Stochastic Variations Of Commonly Used Discounted Cash Flow Formulae, Arnold Reisman, Arza K. Rao
Stochastic Variations Of Commonly Used Discounted Cash Flow Formulae, Arnold Reisman, Arza K. Rao
Research Reports from the Department of Operations
This paper addresses challenges in applying discounted cash flow analysis as presented in standard texts on Engineering Economy, Capital Allocation Theory, Finance, Managerial Economics, and Economic Analysis. While traditional research texts assume deterministic values for independent variables and parameters, real-world applications often face uncertainty in determining these values. The paper proposes stochastic formulations to account for such uncertainty, detailing equations for various combinations and permutations of distributions. The findings aim to bridge the gap between theoretical models and the complexities of real-world financial decision-making.

Some Efficient Dynamic Programming Algorithms For The Optimal Sequencing And Scheduling Of Water Supply Projects, Augustine O. Esogbue, Thomas L. Morin
Some Efficient Dynamic Programming Algorithms For The Optimal Sequencing And Scheduling Of Water Supply Projects, Augustine O. Esogbue, Thomas L. Morin
Research Reports from the Department of Operations
The sequencing and scheduling aspects of some important capacity expansion problems encountered in water resources development are studied. Dynamic programming algorithms are developed for both project timing problems and combined project selection and timing problems involving durable high cost water supply projects, which in the aggregate are subject to continuous-time demand requirements. The structure of the problems is successfully exploited in order to produce computationally efficient algorithms to solve problems of the dimension encountered in water resources systems. The computational superiority of these algorithms over conventional dynamic programming algorithms is discussed and illustrated via a numerical example.
A Primal Method For Linear Programs With Coupling Rows And Columns, James K. Hartman
A Primal Method For Linear Programs With Coupling Rows And Columns, James K. Hartman
Research Reports from the Department of Operations
A considerable amount of work has been done in recent years on adapting the simplex method for linear programming to solving II large-scale specially structured linear programs. One class of methods which has proved to be quite useful in practice is the class of compact inverse methods ([16], Chapter 6). In these S methods, the special structure of the constraint matrix is 8 exploited to obtain a representation of the basis inverse matrix 1 which is more compact than the explicit inverse used in the revised simplex method. .Early proposals for this type of algorithm are found in [1] and …
