Determining the Number of Slots to Submit to a Market Mechanism at a Single Airport
Churchill, Andrew Michael - 2007
In this thesis, several stochastic optimization models are presented to determine the number of airport arrival slots that should be made available for distribution via a market mechanism. Considerable attention is paid to the structure and mathematical properties of each of these models, with...
