This book examines the problem of maintenance planning and scheduling in industrial production systems. It presents two practically relevant, deterministic mathematical models: the capacitated planned maintenance problem (CPMP) and the weighted uncapacitated planned maintenance problem (WUPMP)....

This book about mathematics and methodology for economics is the result of the lifelong experience of the authors. It is written for university students as well as for students of applied sciences. This self-contained book does not assume any previous knowledge of high school mathematics and...

This textbook connects three vibrant areas at the interface between economics and computer science: algorithmic game theory, computational social choice, and fair division. It thus offers an interdisciplinary treatment of collective decision making from an economic and computational perspective....

Introduction -- Some Solution Schemes and Game Properties -- The Shapley Value and (Pre-Kernel) as a Fairness Concept -- Fair Division in Cournot Markets -- Some Preliminary Results -- A Pre-Kernel Characterization and Orthogonal Projection -- Characterization of the Pre-Kernel by Solution Sets...

Recent developments in IC technologies have facilitated the practical application of dynamic vehicle routing systems. While most of the available dynamic approaches deal with urban area environments, the focus of this thesis is set to wide area dynamic freight transportation covering the entire...

Besides scheduling problems for single and parallel machines and shop scheduling problems, this book covers advanced models involving due-dates, sequence dependent changeover times and batching. Discussion also extends to multiprocessor task scheduling and problems with multi-purpose machines....
