This paper provides a methodology for detecting management fraud using basic financial data. The methodology is based on support vector machines. An important aspect therein is a kernel that increases the power of the learning machine by allowing an implicit and generally nonlinear mapping of...

A comment on a class of matrices introduced by Rao (Rao, A. K. 1975. On the linear complementarity problem. Management Sci. 22 (4) 427-429.), relating them to the linear complementary problem.

In this note we investigate extremal optimization over Leontief substitution systems. Such problems arise naturally in discounted Markov decision problems and in problems involving the control of economic systems. We develop both bounds on the objective value of a Leontief substitution system...

In this paper, a market-based decomposition method for decomposable linear systems is developed. The solution process iterates between a master problem that solves the market-matching problem, and subproblems that solve the agents' bundle-determination problems. Starting from any initial price...

This paper considers the possibility of solving certain large scale linear programs using iterative procedures. The class of problems is characterized and a solution procedure developed. The advantages and computational efficiencies are noted in comparison to the product form Revised Simplex...
