Wood products are included as competing enterprises in a model used as an aid in evaluating the need for land and water resource development. The procedure for developing linear programming data inputs for veneer, sawtimber, cordwood, and "other" enterprises is presented. Detailed land use was...

In Folge der steigenden Nachfrage nach ethischen Kapitalanlagen stehen die Unternehmen vor der Herausforderung, neben den typischen monetären Zielen auch Umweltschutzziele in die Investitionsbewertung einbeziehen zu müssen. Bestehende Ansätze der Investitionsbewertung unter Berücksichtigung...

This work introduces a novel formulation of system optimal dynamic traffic assignment that captures strategic route choice in users under demand uncertainty. We define strategic route choice to be that users choose a path prior to knowing the true travel demand which will be experienced...

The concept “Data Envelopment Analysis” (DEA) was introduced in the journal literature by the highly influential 1978 paper of Charnes, Cooper, and Rhodes. In the subsequent literature the development of research leading up to this paper tended to be forgotten. However, studying this...

We introducea new computational framework for DEA that reduces computationtimes and increases flexibility in applications over multiplemodels and orientations.The process is based on the identificationof frames--minimal subsets of the data needed to describethe models in the problems--for each...

We provide a modeling framework for banks’ business planning under Basel III. For this purpose, we write banks’ planning as a formal optimization problem where Basel III minimum requirements/ratios enter as constraints. The linear program provides dual variables that are interpreted as...

The aim of this work is to measure the Industrial Marshallian District (IMD) effect through non-radial measures of technical efficiency. Taking as reference the spatial location of each firm (inside or outside of the IMD), a valuable information can be obtained to assess whether there exist...

Wavelet theory has a profound impact on signal processing as it offers a rigorous mathematical framework to the treatment of multiresolution problems. The combination of soft computing and wavelet theory has led to a number of new techniques. On the other hand, as a new generation of learning...

In this note we show that the diet problem and the benefit-of-the-doubt (BoD) aggregation are linear programming duals. That is, the primal (dual) formulation of the diet problem is equivalent to the dual (primal) formulation of the BoD model as long as food prices are set equal to one. In...

The optimal solutions of the restricted master problems typically leads to an unstable behavior of the standard column generation technique and, consequently, originates an unnecessarily large number of iterations of the method. To overcome this drawback, variations of the standard approach use...
