We consider a two-stage serial supply chain with capacity limits, where each installation is operated by managers attempting to minimize their own costs. A multiple-period model is necessitated by the multiple stages, capacity limits, stochastic demand, and the explicit consideration of...

This chapter reviews the theory of the voluntary public and private redistribution of wealth elaborated by economic analysis in the last forty years or so. The central object of the theory is altruistic gift-giving, construed as benevolent voluntary redistribution of income or wealth. The theory...

We discuss the results of the statistical tolerance test of the General Administration Management component of the Capital Expenditure of the Bangalore Municipal Corporation which carries ahead our two previous connected studies (A. Sathyavathi (2023(a)), Analysis of the General Administration...

In continuation of our previous study (A. Sathyavathi (2023). Analysis of the General Administration Management Expenditure of the Bangalore Municipal Corporation https://www.ssrn.com/abstract=4403863 ; http://dx.doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.4403863 ) we propose to further analyze the sample of the...

In this very first paper of a series of forthcoming research papers of ours, which we propose to bring out in near future regarding the detailed statistical and mathematical analysis of the financial resources and the budget of the Bangalore Municipal Corporation (more appropriately now called...

Concerned with the risk of supplier default, a firm may choose to diversify its orders among multiple suppliers. Furthermore, the discrepancy in production lead-times among suppliers furnishes a firm with a valuable option to defer ordering decisions until uncertainty has been partially...

We propose the eigenfunction expansion method for pricing options in linear-quadratic terms structure models. The eigenvalues, eigenfunctions and adjoint functions are calculated using elements of the representation theory of Lie algebras not only in the self-adjoint case but in non-selfadjoint...

We analyze and compare the performance of the Fourier transform method in affine and quadratic term structure models. We explain why the method of the reduction to FFT in dimension one is efficient for ATSMs of type $A_0(n)$ but may lead to sizable errors for QTSMs unless computational errors...
