Assignment model is a powerful operations research techniques that can be used to solve assignment or allocation problem. This study applies the assignment model to the course allocation problem in Nigeria tertiary institution in order to maximize lecturers’ effectiveness. A well-structured questionnaire was used to obtain data from lecturers and solved with Hungarian method. The study revealed...

In clinical trials comparing several treatments, it is often the case that the response variance varies from treatment to treatment. This paper discusses the optimal treatment allocation scheme in this situation. For the one-objective scenario, i.e:, pariwise comparison of all treatments, three allocation rules, namely, the optimal rule, the equal allocation rule and the naive rule, are given a...

In this thesis, we develop efficient algorithms for the jointly optimal power and chan­ nel resource allocation in different wireless cooperative multiple access systems. In addition, in some cases insight into the structure of the optimal allocation enables the development of modified cooperation schemes with better performance, and efficient algorithms are developed for jointly optimal power ...

This paper discusses two optimal allocation problems. We consider different hypotheses of portfolio selection with stable distributed returns for each of them. In particular, we study the optimal allocation between a riskless return and risky stable distributed returns. Furthermore, we examine and compare the optimal allocation obtained with the Gaussian and the stable non-Gaussian distribution...
