Extrapolation of the mean lifetime of a large population from its preliminary survival history

A large population of independent identical units having finite mean lifetime T is observed. From the history A(y) of cumulative arrivals and the history B(y) of cumulative removals in the interval 0 ≦ y ≦ τ one must predict at time τ the desired T . Two lifetime predictors X(τ) and Y(τ) and related simple predictors obtained from A(y) and B(y) are shown to converge to T with a rate of convergence dependent on the structure of the failure rate function of the units. This dependence is studied theoretically and numerically.     

A bounded dual (all-integer) integer programming algorithm with an objective cut

In this article, we describe a new algorithm for solving all-integer, integer programming problems. We generate upper bounds on the decision variables, and use these bounds to create an advanced starting point for a dual all-integer cutting plane algorithm. In addition, we use a constraint derived from the objective function to speed progress toward the optimal solution. Our basic vehicle is the dual all-integer algorithm of Gomory, but we incorporate certain row- and column-selection criteria which partially avoid the problem of dual-degenerate iterations. We present the results of computational testing.     

An operator theory of parametric programming for the generalized transportation problem—IV—global operators

This paper investigates the effect of the optimal solution of a (capacitated) generalized transportation problem when the data of the problem (the rim conditions—i.e., the available time of machine types and demands of product types, the per unit production costs, the per unit production time and the upper bounds) are continuously varied as a linear function of a single parameter. Operators that effect the transformation of optimal solution associated with such data changes, are shown to be a product of basis preserving operators (described in our earlier papers) that operate on a sequence of adjacent basis structures. Algorithms are furnished for the three types of operators—rim, cost, and weight. The paper concludes with a discussion of the production and managerial interpretations of the operators and a comment on the “production paradox”.     

Structured markovian decision problems

Structured finite action-finite state space discounted Markovian decision problems are analyzed. Any problem of a general class is shown to be equivalent to a “separated” problem with decomposable problem structure. A modified policy iteration approach is developed for this decomposable reformulation. Both analytic and computer evaluations of the decomposition algorithm's effectiveness are presented.     

The single server queue in discrete time-numerical analysis II

This paper deals with the numerical problems arising in the computation of higher order moments of the busy period for certain classical queues of the M|G|I type, both in discrete and in continuous time The classical functional equation for the moment generating function of the busy period is used. The higher order derivatives at zero of the moment generating function are computed by repeated use of the classical differentiation formula of Fá di Bruno. Moments of order up to fifty may be computed in this manner A variety of computational aspects of Fá di Bruno's formula, which may be of use in other areas of application, are also discussed in detail.     

Total optimality of incrementally optimal allocations

This paper considers the problem of finding optimal solutions to a class of separable constrained extremal problems involving nonlinear functionals. The results are proved for rather general situations, but they may be easily stated for the case of search for a stationary object whose a priori location distribution is given by a density function on R, a subset of Euclidean n-space. The functional to be optimized in this case is the probability of detection and the constraint is on the amount of effort to be used Suppose that a search of the above type is conducted in such a manner as to produce the maximum increase in probability of detection for each increment of effort added to the search. Then under very weak assumptions, it is proven that this search will produce an optimal allocation of the total effort involved. Under some additional assumptions, it is shown that any amount of search effort may be allocated in an optimal fashion.
