Dynamic Optimization of Software Enhancement Effort
Kumar, Subodha; Ji, Yonghua; Yeh, Denny; Sethi, Suresh - 2013
As the competition in the software development business grows fiercer, the features provided in the software become … more and more important. With the growing popularity of open source software and the advent of new software delivery models …, such as software-as-a-service, the traditional software vendors cannot compete on price in the long run. Therefore, they …

Approximate results for a generalized secretary problem
Dietz, Chris; Laan, Dinard van der; Ridder, Ad - 2010
A version of the classical secretary problem is studied, in which one is interested in selecting one of the b best out of a group of n differently ranked persons who are presented one by one in a random order. It is assumed that b is bigger than or equal to 1 is a preassigned number. It is...

Polynomial time algorithms for some multi-level lot-sizing problems with production capacities
Hoesel, Stan van; Romeijn, H. Edwin; Romero Morales, … - 2002
We consider a model for a serial supply chain in which production, inventory, and transportation decisions are integrated, in the presence of production capacities and for different transportation cost functions. The model we study is a generalization of the traditional single-item economic...

An exercise on discrete-time intertemporal optimization
Natividad-Carlos, Fidelina Borja - 2013
This paper, using the different alternative methods of dynamic optimization (the Lagrange/Kuhn-Tucker (LKT) method, the substitution method, the Hamiltonian method, and the dynamic programming approach) derives the conditions that must be satisfied by the solution to the so-called Ramsey...

Approximate dynamic programming with postdecision states as a solution method for dynamic economic models
Hull, Isaiah - 2013
I introduce and evaluate a new stochastic simulation method for dynamic economic models. It is based on recent work in the operations research and engineering literatures (Van Roy et. al, 1997; Powell, 2007; Bertsekas, 2011). The baseline method involves rewriting the household's dynamic program in...

Valuation of multiple hyro reservoir storage systems in competitive electricity markets
Felix, Bastian Joachim; Weber, Christoph - 2014
Increasing renewable generation results in growing supply uncertainty. By now hydrostorages are the most efficient way of smoothing uncertain power supply. In liberalized and competitive markets the valuation of hydro storages investment projects needs to take the market information and...

Adapting to climate change : an analysis under uncertainty
García-León, David - 2016
Climate change is a phenomenon beset with major uncertainties and researchers should include them in Integrated Assessment Models. However, including further dimensions in IAM models comes at a cost. In particular, it makes most of these models suffer from the curse of dimensionality. In this...
