Some distributions arising as a consequence of errors in inspection

In this article, the authors survey and consolidate their investigations during the years 1980-1983 dealing with consequences of errors in inspection sampling models. Some indication of the current and future research is given.     

Nature of renyi's entropy and associated divergence function

Nature of Renyi's entropy and associated divergence function is discussed in terms of concave (convex) and pseudoconcave (pseudoconvex) functions.     

Mathematical control theory solution of an interactive accounting flows model

In this paper we have applied the mathematical control theory to the accounting network flows, where the flow rates are constrained by linear inequalities. The optimal control policy is of the “generalized bang-bang” variety which is obtained by solving at each instant in time a linear programming problem whose objective function parameters are determined by the “switching function” which is derived from the Hamiltonian function. The interpretation of the adjoint variables of the control problem and the dual evaluators of the linear programming problem demonstrates an interesting interaction of the cross section phase of the problem, which is characterized by linear programming, and the dynamic phase of the problem, which is characterized by control theory.     

Productivity estimates of the strategic airlift system by the use of simulation

Although the strategic airlift system is under continuous analysis, C-5A problems provided impetus to analyze the airlift system productivity function by using a large-scale simulation model. Development of the simulation model (Simulation of Airlift Resources - SOAR) was initiated by the Office of Secretary of Defense (Systems Analysis) in 1966. SOAR had barely become operational in time for the study in November 1968. Since limited verification and validation tests had been performed on the simulation model, the design of experiments was of critical importance. The experimental design had to be flexible enough to salvage the maximum amount of information possible upon the discovery of either a verification or validation error. In addition, the experimental design was required to accommodate the estimation of a large number of possibly changing independent variables. The experimental design developed for the analysis was full factorial design sets for a finite number of factors. Initial analysis began with aggregated sets of factors at two levels, and information gained from experiment execution was used to parse the sets. The process was sequential and parsing continued until the major explanatory independent variables were identified or enough information was obtained to eliminate the factor from further direct analysis. This design permitted the overlapping of simulation runs to fill out the factorial design sets. In addition to estimating the airlift productivity function, several other findings are reported which tended to disprove previous assumptions about the nature of the strategic airlift system.     

Stock control in a many depot system

The chief problems considered are: (1) In a parallel set of warehouses, how should stocks be allocated? (2) In a system consisting of a central warehouse and several subsidiary warehouses, how much stock should be carried in each? The demands may have known, or unknown, distribution functions. For problem (1), the i-th stock n_i should usually be allocated in proportion to the i-th demand m_i; in special cases, a significant improvement is embodied in the formula (N = total allocable stock)
