In this paper we consider a single item, stochastic demand production/inventory problem where the maximum amount that can be produced (or ordered) in any given period is assumed to be uncertain. Inventory levels are reviewed periodically. The system operates under a stationary modified base stock policy. The intent of our paper is to present a procedure for computing the optimal base stock level of this policy under expected average cost per period criterion. This procedure would provide guidance as to the appropriate amount of capacity to store in the form of inventory in the face of stochastic demand and uncertain capacity. In achieving this goal, our main contribution is to establish the analogy between the class of base stock production/inventory policies that operate under demand/capacity uncertainty, and the G/G/1 queues and their associated random walks. We also present example derivations for some important capacity distributions. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.

Factorization of Joint Probability Mass Functions into Parity Check Interactions Bayramoglu, Muhammet Fatih; Yılmaz, Ali Özgür (2009-07-03) We show that any joint probability mass function (PMF) can be expressed as a product of parity check factors an d factors of degree one with the help of some auxiliary variables, if the alphabet size is appropriate for defining a parity chec k equation. In other words, marginalization of a joint PMF is equivalent to a soft decoding task as long as a finite field can be constructed over the alphabet of the PMF. In factor graph terminology this claim means that a factor graph representing such a joint PMF alw...
Pricing formulae for constant proportion debt obligation notes: The Laplace transform technique Cekic, A. I.; Uğur, Ömür (2014-03-15) In this paper we derive closed form pricing formulae for the constant proportion debt obligation (CPDO) by using the Laplace transform technique. First, we present the pricing equation as a combination of a pricing problem (conditional expectation) and a static part that depends only on time. Then, we indicate that the pricing problem is in fact a pricing of a barrier option written on the shortfall. Hence, we derive explicit solutions of such barrier option problems when the shortfall follows either a diff...
Excessive backlog probabilities of two parallel queues Unlu, Kamil Demirberk; Sezer, Ali Devin (2020-10-01) Let X be the constrained random walk on Z2 + with increments (1, 0), (-1, 0), (0, 1) and (0,-1); X represents, at arrivals and service completions, the lengths of two queues (or two stacks in computer science applications) working in parallel whose service and interarrival times are exponentially distributed with arrival rates.i and service rates mu i, i = 1, 2; we assume.i < mu i, i = 1, 2, i.e., X is assumed stable. Without loss of generality we assume.1 =.1/mu 1 similar to.2 =.2/mu 2. Let tn be the first...
Inference of Autoregressive Model with Stochastic Exogenous Variable Under Short-Tailed Symmetric Distributions Bayrak, Ozlem Tuker; Akkaya, Ayşen (2018-12-01) In classical autoregressive models, it is assumed that the disturbances are normally distributed and the exogenous variable is non-stochastic. However, in practice, short-tailed symmetric disturbances occur frequently and exogenous variable is actually stochastic. In this paper, estimation of the parameters in autoregressive models with stochastic exogenous variable and non-normal disturbances both having short-tailed symmetric distribution is considered. This is the first study in this area as known to the...
Local volatility model applied to BIST30 european warrants: pricing and hedging Kirazoğlu, Zekiye Sıla; Sezer, Ali Devin; Department of Financial Mathematics (2016) One of the basic observations on pricing options is that the assumption of constant volatility does not agree with data and market price data gives a volatility smile that depends on maturities and strike prices. The ﬁrst model that developed to be compatible with this observation is the local volatility model. The purpose of this work is to study the performance of the local volatility model on BIST30 warrants and compare it to the standard Black Scholes model. To estimate the local volatility model from d...
