Quantitative Methoden in den Wirtschaftswissenschaften
Anläßlich des 65. Geburtstages von Hans Paul Künzi haben sich Weggefährten, Mitarbeiter und Schüler aus den Jahren seines Wirkens als Hochschullehrer zusammengetan, um wenigstens punktuell aufzu zeigen, wie und wohin in den letzten zwei Jahrzehnten verschiedene theoretische und empirische Entwicklungen verlaufen sind, die der Jubilar zumindest in der Schweiz und zu einem guten Teil auch darüber hinaus mitaufgebaut und in den Anfängen beeinflußt hat. Zu diesem Vorhaben fanden die Herausgeber vielseitige Unterstützung. Zunächst von den beteiligten Autoren, die mit spontanen Zusagen und in vorbildlicher Weise ihre Beiträge termingerecht fertiggestellt haben. Darüber hinaus hat ein g...
An Introduction to Optimal Control Theory
This paper is intended for the beginner. It is not a state of-the-art paper for research workers in the field of control theory. Its purpose is to introduce the reader to some of the problems and results in control theory, to illustrate the application of these re sults, and to provide a guide for his further reading on this subject. I have tried to motivate the results with examples, especial ly with one canonical, simple example described in §3. Many results, such as the maximum principle, have long and difficult proofs. I have omitted these proofs. In general I have included only the proofs which are either (1) not too difficult or (2) fairly enlightening as to the nature of the result. ...
A Study of the Queueing Systems M/G/1 and GI/M/1
This study has grown out of a part of the author's thesis "Some Simple and Bulk Queueing Systems: A Study of Their Transient Behavior" submitted to the University of Western Australia (1964) and a course on Queueing Theory given to graduate students in the Operations Research Group of Case Institute of Technology, Cleveland, Ohio. The one semester course (approximately 35 hours) consisted of the following topics. (i) Some of the important special queues such as M/M/s, M/D/s, M/Ek/l etc., with emphasis on the different methods employed in the transient as well as steady state solution. (ii) Imbedded Markov chain analysis of M/G/l and GI/M/l as given in the joint paper of the author and N.U. P...

The Theory of Max-Min and its Application to Weapons Allocation Problems
Max-Min problems are two-step allocation problems in which one side must make his move knowing that the other side will then learn what the move is and optimally counter. They are fundamental in parti cular to military weapons-selection problems involving large systems such as Minuteman or Polaris, where the systems in the mix are so large that they cannot be concealed from an opponent. One must then expect the opponent to determine on an optlmal mixture of, in the case men tioned above, anti-Minuteman and anti-submarine effort. The author's first introduction to a problem of Max-Min type occurred at The RAND Corporation about 1951. One side allocates anti-missile defenses to various cities. The other side observes this allocation and then allocates missiles to those cities. If F(x, y) denotes the total residual value of the cities after the attack, with x denoting the defender's strategy and y the attacker's, the problem is then to find Max MinF(x, y) = Max [MinF(x, y)] .
Numerical Methods of Mathematical Optimization
Numerical Methods of Mathematical Optimization: With ALGOL and FORTRAN Programs reviews the theory and the practical application of the numerical methods of mathematical optimization. An ALGOL and a FORTRAN program was developed for each one of the algorithms described in the theoretical section. This should result in easy access to the application of the different optimization methods. Comprised of four chapters, this volume begins with a discussion on the theory of linear and nonlinear optimization, with the main stress on an easily understood, mathematically precise presentation. In addition to the theoretical considerations, several algorithms of importance to the numerical application o...
Dynamic Programming of Economic Decisions
Dynamic Programming is the analysis of multistage decision in the sequential mode. It is now widely recognized as a tool of great versatility and power, and is applied to an increasing extent in all phases of economic analysis, operations research, technology, and also in mathematical theory itself. In economics and operations research its impact may someday rival that of linear programming. The importance of this field is made apparent through a growing number of publications. Foremost among these is the pioneering work of Bellman. It was he who originated the basic ideas, formulated the principle of optimality, recognized its power, coined the terminology, and developed many of the present...
Stochastic Optimization
This volume includes a selection of refereed papers presented at the GAMM/IFIP-Workshop on "Stochastic Optimization: Numerical Methods and Technical Applications", held at the Federal Armed Forces University Munich, May 29 - 31, 1990. The objective of this meeting was to bring together scientists from Stochastic Programming and from those Engineering areas, where Mathematical Programming models are common tools, as e. g. Optimal Structural Design, Power Dispatch, Acid Rain Management etc. The first, theoretical part includes the papers by S. D. Flam. H. Niederreiter, E. Poechinger and R. Schultz. The second part on methods and applications contains the articles by N. Baba, N. Grwe and W. Roemisch, J. Mayer, E. A. Mc Bean and A. Vasarhelyi.
