A note on impulsive control of Feller processes with costly information

Dariusz Gątarek (1990)

Aplikace matematiky

The paper deals with the optimal inspections and maintenance problem with costly information for a Markov process with positive discount factor. The associated dynamic programming equation is a quasi-variational inequality with first order differential terms. In this paper we study its different formulations: strong, visousity and evolutionary. The case of impulsive control of purely jump Markov processes is studied as a special case.

A note on the optimal replacement policy

Antonín Lešanovský, Petr Pěnička (1983)

Aplikace matematiky

A system with a single activated unit, which can be in a finite number of states, is considered. Inspections of the system are carried out at discrete time instants. It is possible to replace it by a new one at these moments. The user of the system, by setting down conditions of replacements, wants to maximize his gain, which does not include the rest value of units. On a numerical example it is shown that the frequency of replacements of the unit need not be the greater the longer is the period...

A note to independent sets in scheduling

Jan Černý (1995)

Applications of Mathematics

The paper studies the bus-journey graphs in the case when they are piecewise expanding and contracting (if described by fathers-sons relations starting with the greatest independent set of nodes). This approach can make it possible to solve the minimization problem of the total service time of crews.

A polarized adaptive schedule generation scheme for the resource-constrained project scheduling problem

Reza Zamani (2012)

RAIRO - Operations Research

This paper presents a hybrid schedule generation scheme for solving the resource-constrained project scheduling problem. The scheme, which is called the Polarized Adaptive Scheduling Scheme (PASS), can operate in a spectrum between two poles, namely the parallel and serial schedule generation schemes. A polarizer parameter in the range between zero and one indicates how similarly the PASS behaves like each of its two poles. The presented hybrid is...
