In this thesis, competitive and cooperative newsboy problems for two substitutable products are analyzed by using game theoretic concepts. The demands of the products are assumed to be dependent and normally distributed. Competition is handled for Nash and Stackelberg games. Nash and Stackelberg games are compared in terms of the order quantities and the expected profits. Cooperative newsboy problem is analyzed for the products having equal costs and revenues. The effect of demand correlation on the order quantities and the expected profits in all of the games is investigated through numerical experiments. Optimal solutions of the Nash, Stackelberg and the cooperative games are examined analytically when the demand correlation is 1.

Inference of switching networks by using a piecewise linear formulation Akçay, Didem; Öktem, Hakan; Department of Scientific Computing (2005) Inference of regulatory networks has received attention of researchers from many fields. The challenge offered by this problem is its being a typical modeling problem under insufficient information about the process. Hence, we need to derive the apriori unavailable information from the empirical observations. Modeling by inference consists of selecting or defining the most appropriate model structure and inferring the parameters. An appropriate model structure should have the following properties. The model...
A mathematical modeling and approximation of gene expression patterns by linear and quadratic regulatory relations and analysis of gene networks Yılmaz, Fatma Bilge; Weber, Gerhard Wilhelm; Department of Scientific Computing (2004) This thesis mainly concerns modeling, approximation and inference of gene regulatory dynamics on the basis of gene expression patterns. The dynamical behavior of gene expressions is represented by a system of ordinary di erential equations. We introduce a gene-interaction matrix with some nonlinear entries, in particular, quadratic polynomials of the expression levels to keep the system solvable. The model parameters are determined by using optimization. Then, we provide the time-discrete approximation of o...
Beam search algorithm for capacity allocation problem in flexible manufacturing systems Ozpeynirci, Selin Bilgin; Azizoğlu, Meral (Elsevier BV, 2009-05-01) This study considers the operation assignment and tool allocation problem in flexible manufacturing systems. A set of operations together with their required tools are selected so as to maximize the total weight. The machines have limited time and tool magazine capacities and the tools are available in limited quantities. We develop a beam search algorithm and obtain near optimal solutions for large size problems very quickly.
Quadrature error compensation and its effects on the performance of fully decoupled MEMS gyroscopes Tatar, Erdinç; Akın, Tayfun; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2010) This thesis, for the first time in the literature, presents the effect of quadrature error compensation on the performance of a fully decoupled MEMS gyroscope and provides experimental data on the sources of quadrature error. Dedicated quadrature error cancellation electrodes operating with only differential DC potentials are designed. Gyroscopes with intentionally placed imperfections are fabricated with SOG based SOI process which provides higher yield and uniformity compared to SOG process. Tests show th...
Energy-based non-local plasticity models for deformation patterning, localization and fracture Lancioni, Giovanni; Yalçınkaya, Tuncay; Cocks, Alan (The Royal Society, 2015-08-08) This paper analyses the effect of the form of the plastic energy potential on the (heterogeneous) distribution of the deformation field in a simple setting where the key physical aspects of the phenomenon could easily be extracted. This phenomenon is addressed through two different (rate-dependent and rate-independent) non-local plasticity models, by numerically solving two distinct one-dimensional problems, where the plastic energy potential has different non-convex contributions leading to patterning of t...
