A note on two-person zero-sum communicating stochastic games
Avşar, Zeynep Müge (Elsevier BV, 2006-07-01)
For undiscounted two-person zero-sum communicating stochastic games with finite state and action spaces, a solution procedure is proposed that exploits the communication property, i.e., working with irreducible games over restricted strategy spaces. The proposed procedure gives the value of the communicating game with an arbitrarily small error when the value is independent of the initial state.
Policies utilizing tactical inventory for service-differentiated customers
Duran, Serhan; Simchi-Levi, David; Swann, Julie L. (Elsevier BV, 2008-03-01)
We consider a manufacturer serving two customer classes where one wants the item immediately and the second receives a discount to accept a delay. We show that an (S, R, B) base-stock policy is optimal under differentiation and non-differentiation where S, R, and B are the order-up-to, reserve-up-to, and backlog-up-to amounts.

Operational fixed job scheduling problem under spread time constraints: a branch-and-price algorithm
Solyali, O.; Ozpeynirci, O. (Informa UK Limited, 2009-01-01)
This study addresses the operational fixed job scheduling problem under spread time constraints. The problem is to select a subset of jobs having fixed ready times and deadlines for processing on identical parallel machines such that total weight of the selected jobs is maximised. We first give a mathematical formulation of the problem and then reformulate it using Dantzig-Wolfe decomposition. We propose a branch-and-price algorithm that works on the reformulation of the problem. Computational results show ...
