Optimal sequential inspection policies
We consider the problem of combining a given set of diagnostic tests into an inspection system that can classify items of interest (cases) with maximum accuracy subject to budget constraints. One motivating application is sequencing diagnostic tests for container inspection problems, where the diagnostic tests may correspond to radiation sensors, documents checks, or imaging systems. We conside...
متن کاملOptimal dividend policies with random profitability∗
We study an optimal dividend problem under a bankruptcy constraint. Firms face a trade-off between potential bankruptcy and extraction of profits. In contrast to previous works, general cash flow drifts, including Ornstein–Uhlenbeck and CIR processes, are considered. We provide rigorous proofs of continuity of the value function, whence dynamic programming, as well as uniqueness of the solution...
متن کاملOPTIMAL DESIGN OF DIAGRID MODULES BY PSEUDO RANDOM DIRECTIONAL SEARCH
The present work reveals a problem formulation to minimize material consumption and improve efficiency of diagrids to resist equivalent wind loading. The integrated formulation includes not only sizing of structural members but also variation in geometry and topology of such a system. Particular encoding technique is offered to handle practical variation of diagrid modules. A variant of Pseudo-...
متن کاملROMA: Random Overlook Mastering ATFM
Consider the arrival process defined by t i =i + ξ i , where ξ i are i.i.d random variables. First introduced in the 50's, this arrival process is of remarkable importance in Air Traffic Flow Management and other transportation systems, where scheduled arrivals are intrinsically subject to random variations; other frameworks where this model has proved to be capable of a good description of act...
