 Inventory space requirements in remanufacturing facilities can vary significantly over time and by type of space needed due to variability in recaptured component quality, availability of refurbished components, remanufactured product demand, and returned product rates. Multi-period stochastic programming recourse models are developed to identify optimal adaptive schedules for internal, exter...

performing commitment by the third party   yusef mulaei (ph.d.) [1] amir najafi ghamat [2]   abstract by the personal intervention of the third party (other than the indebted) in performing a commitment, a new process will begin that is not out of the following three conditions. one is that the payment is “forcible” according to the legal ruling as is partially accepted by some internal regulat...

We consider power system expansion planning under uncertainty. In our approach, integer programming and stochastic programming provide a basic framework. We develop a multistage stochastic programming model in which some of the variables are restricted to integer values. By utilizing the special property of the problem, called block separable recourse, the problem is transformed into a two-stag...

Opportunities to make sequential decisions and adjust activities as a season progresses and more information becomes available characterise the farm management process. In this paper, we present a discrete stochastic two-stage utility efficient programming model of organic dairy farms, which includes risk aversion in the decision maker’s objective function as well as both embedded risk (stochas...

In this paper, we study a dynamic fleet management problem with uncertain demands and customer chosen service levels. We first show that the problem can be transformed into a dynamic network with partially dependent random arc capacities, and then develop a structural decomposition approach which decomposes the network recourse problem into a series of tree recourse problems (TRPs). As each TRP...

Abstract This Article traces the concept of transnational public policy as developed in context international arbitration at intersection between legal theory and practice. The emergence such a policy, it is claimed, would enable arbitrators to safeguard ultimately define interests that need be protected globalized economy, irrespective national laws. A historical contextualization efforts empo...
