In this paper, Trajectory Scheduling Methods (TSMs) are proposed for the permutation flowshop scheduling problem with total tardiness minimization criterion. TSMs belong to an iterative local search framework, in which local search is performed on an initial solution, a perturbation operator is...

Purpose: In the ongoing Industry 4.0 era, the internet of things (IoT) has become a global race in the current information technology climate. However, little is understood about the pattern of the global competitive arena or its players’ set up strategy. This paper aims to attempt to compare...

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to solve the optimal dynamic portfolio problem under the double-exponential jump diffusion (DEJD) distribution, which can allow the asset returns to jump asymmetrically. Design/methodology/approach: The authors solve the problem by solving the HJB equation....
