Movement optimization in flow shop processing with buffers

Espelage, Wolfgang; Wanke, Egon - In: Mathematical Methods of Operations Research 51 (2000) 3, pp. 495-513

We consider the movement minimization problem in a conveyer flow shop processing controlled by one worker that has to serve all machines. Each machine can only execute tasks if the worker is present. A few jobs can be queued in a buffer in front of each machine. The objective is to minimize the...

An approximation algorithm for the stack-up problem

Rethmann, Jochen; Wanke, Egon - In: Mathematical Methods of Operations Research 51 (2000) 2, pp. 203-233

We consider the combinatorial stack-up problem motivated by stacking up bins from a conveyor onto pallets. The stack-up problem is to decide whether a given list q of labeled objects can be processed by removing step by step one of the first s objects of q so that the following holds. After each...

Dynamics of a class of discrete-time neural networks and their continuous-time counterparts

Mohamad, S.; Gopalsamy, K. - In: Mathematics and Computers in Simulation (MATCOM) 53 (2000) 1, pp. 1-39

conditions are obtained for exponentially stable encoding of temporally uniform external stimuli. Discrete-time analogues of the … both continuous-time and discrete-time systems. Two major conclusions are drawn from this study: firstly, it demonstrates … the suitability of the formulated discrete-time analogues as mathematical models for stable encoding of associative …

Measuring Willingness-To-Pay for Risk Reduction: An Application of Conjoint Analysis

Telser, Harry; Zweifel, Peter - Institut für Volkswirtschaftslehre, … - 2000

This study applies conjoint analysis (CA) to estimate the marginal willingness-to-pay (MWTP) of elderly individuals for a reduction of the risk of fracture of the femur. The good in question are hypothetical hip protectors which lower the risk of a fracture by different amounts. Other attributes...
