Sensitivity analysis of the transportation problem is developed in a way which enables reducing the dimensionality of the associated tableau. This technique is used to reduce the dimensionality of a transportation problem whose origin requirements are relatively small at the majority of origins. A long transportation problem, for which efficient solution procedures exist, results. A second application relates to the location-allocation problem. Reducing the dimensionality of such a problem, accompanied by the partial determination of the optimal solution, should prove helpful in the quest for an analytic solution to the aforementioned problem. In the meantime, reducing dimensionality greatly decreases the effort involved in solution by trial and error. Examples of the two applications are provided. 相似文献
Consider a birth and death process starting in state 0. Keilson has shown by analytical arguments that the time of first passage into state n has an increasing failure rate (IFR) distribution. We present a probabilistic proof for this. In addition, our proof shows that for a nonnegative diffusion process, the first passage time from state 0 to any state x is IFR. 相似文献
We study a setting with a single type of resource and with several players, each associated with a single resource (of this type). Unavailability of these resources comes unexpectedly and with player‐specific costs. Players can cooperate by reallocating the available resources to the ones that need the resources most and let those who suffer the least absorb all the costs. We address the cost savings allocation problem with concepts of cooperative game theory. In particular, we formulate a probabilistic resource pooling game and study them on various properties. We show that these games are not necessarily convex, do have non‐empty cores, and are totally balanced. The latter two are shown via an interesting relationship with Böhm‐Bawerk horse market games. Next, we present an intuitive class of allocation rules for which the resulting allocations are core members and study an allocation rule within this class of allocation rules with an appealing fairness property. Finally, we show that our results can be applied to a spare parts pooling situation. 相似文献
