Solving a (0, 1) hyperbolic program by branch and bound

A problem in (0, 1) hyperbolic programming is formulated and solved by the use of branch and bound methods. Computational results are presented including a comparison among several branching rules. Heuristic methods for quickly finding relatively good feasible solutions are presented and tested. The problem finds application in the scheduling of common carriers. In the solution of the main problem, a subproblem is identified and solved. A geometric analogue is presented, which allows an interesting interpretation of the subproblem. The subproblem itself finds application in the design of gambles.     

Simulating stable stochastic systems,V: Comparison of ratio estimators

The regenerative method for estimating parameters in a simulation requires the simulator to estimate the ratio of two means. Five point estimates and four confidence intervals for this ratio have been computed for three stochastic simulations. The jackknife method appears to be the most promising for both point and interval estimation.     

Least-absolute-value estimators for one-way and two-way tables

This paper concerns itself with the problem of estimating the parameters of one-way and two-way classification models by minimization of the sum of the absolute deviations of the regression function from the observed points. The one-way model reduces to obtaining a set of medians from which optimal parameters can be obtained by simple arithmetic manipulations. The two-way model is transformed into a specially structured linear programming problem, and two algorithms are presented to solve this problem. The occurrence of alternative optimal solutions in both models is discussed, and numerical examples are presented.     

Multiproduct lot-size scheduling with proportional product demands

In this paper we consider the multiproduct, multiperiod production-scheduling model of Manne under the assumption that, across products, demands are interrelated over time. When demand requirements are proportional we show that the solution has a specific structure determined by the ratio of setup to production-run time of each product. This structure holds for any length horizon and may permit a substantial (time) savings for column generation solution procedures.     

The continuous multiple-modular design problem

In this article we extend our previous work on the continuous single-module design problem to the multiple-module case. It is assumed that there is a fixed cost associated with each additional module used. The Kuhn–Tucker conditions characterize local optima among which there is a global optimum. Modules are associated with partitions and a special class, guillotine partitions, are characterized. Branch-and-bound, partial enumeration, and heuristic procedures for finding optimum or good guillotine partitions are discussed and illustrated with examples.     

An approximate solution method for the fixed charge problem

In the absence, to date, of an exact method for solving the linear programming problem with fixed charges, two heuristic methods have been proposed and extensively investigated, computationally, for moderate sized problems. The results indicate that the heuristic methods produce optimal solutions in well over 90 percent of the several hundred problems investigated and very close to optimal (a few percent) in the remaining cases. Hence it should be of practical significance to practitioners in the field.
