In this paper, we present a normative study that describes the impact of discharging decisions in the face of resource shortages. We develop a model that represents the dynamics of a health care unit. Then, to capture the essence of discharge decisions, we consider discharge policies that...

In this work, we investigate two groundwater inventory management schemes with multiple users in a dynamic game-theoretic structure: (i) under the centralized management scheme, users are allowed to pump water from a common aquifer with the supervision of a social planner, and (ii) under the...

In this study, we analyze an inventory system facing stochastic external demands and an autonomous supply (independent return flow) in the presence of fixed disposal costs and positive lead times under a continuous review replenishment-disposal policy. We derive the analytical expressions of the...
