Primal dual algorithms for the vehicle refueling problem

Mehrez, Stern, and Ronen have defined a vehicle refueling problem in which a fleet of vehicles travels on a round-trip, self-contained mission from a common origin, with the objective of maximizing the operational range of the fleet. They have defined a “pure refueling chain” strategy for transferring fuel between vehicles in the fleet, and have solved the problem in the special cases when all vehicles have the same fuel capacity or consumption rate. In this article we present algorithms for the general case, where vehicles have different capacities and consumption rates. Our approach is based on a new primal dual formulation of the problem. The exact algorithm was effective to find the optimal solution for a fleet size n ⩽13. For larger fleets, we present an approximation version of it, which very quickly found a solution within 1% of the maximum possible range for arbitrarily large (up to n = 200) fleets. We also show that a small number of the best vehicles can always reach almost the same range as a large fleet. © 1992 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

利用UML建模开发炮兵指挥自动化系统

围绕开发一个炮兵指挥自动化系统的整个过程,利用统一建模语言(UML)建立模型,利用一系列视图描述了从需求分析、系统设计,到物理实现和系统部署的整个过程,将复杂的指挥系统用简单明了的可视化图形表示出来,给整个指挥自动化系统的开发提供了有利的条件.为炮兵指挥自动化系统的系统分析和建模提供了有效的途径.

科学发展观的政治意蕴

马克思主义是人类第一个建立在科学方法论基础上的社会发展理论,科学发展观是马克思主义社会发展理论的继承和发展。注重研究政治功能,在马克思主义社会发展学说中显得十分突出。无论从科学发展观提出的现实背景、过程,还是核心和主题词来看,都有十分突显的政治意蕴。尤其是“以人为本”,既承授了马克思人的自由和解放的命题,又突出以社会主义国家政权的力量来维护社会的平等和公正,科学发展观蕴含和展现的这一政治意蕴,是极为重要的和不可忽略的。

A network reformulation of an electric utility expansion planning model

We reformulate a multiperiod capacity expansion model of electric utilities as a network model. We show how to reconstruct the dual solution of the original mathematical program from the network model solution. To formulate the network model, we use information about the properties of the optimal solution of the mathematical program to reduce the number of constraints. The remaining constraints are then readily converted into network constraints. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons. Inc.     

On gamma estimation via matrix kriging

In financial engineering, sensitivities of derivative prices (also known as the Greeks) are important quantities in risk management, and stochastic gradient estimation methods are used to estimate them given the market parameters. In practice, the surface (function) of the Greeks with respect to the underlying parameters is much more desired, because it can be used in real‐time risk management. In this paper, we consider derivatives with multiple underlying assets, and propose three stochastic kriging‐based methods, the element‐by‐element, the importance mapping, and the Cholesky decomposition, to fit the surface of the gamma matrix that can fulfill the time constraint and the precision requirement in real‐time risk management. Numerical experiments are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods.

Determination of suppliers' optimal quantity discount schedules with heterogeneous buyers

Although the quantity discount problem has been extensively studied in the realm of a single supplier and a single buyer, it is not well understood when a supplier has many different buyers. This paper presents an analysis of a supplier's quantity discount decision when there are many buyers with different demand and cost structures. A common discrete all‐unit quantity discount schedule with many break points is used. After formulating the model, we first analyze buyers' responses to a general discrete quantity discount schedule. This analysis establishes a framework for a supplier to formulate his quantity discount decision. Under this framework, the supplier's optimal quantity discount schedule can be formulated and solved by a simple non‐linear programming model. The applicability of the model is discussed with an application for a large U.S. distribution network. © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
