    • Summary Conclusions: Computation of Minimum Volume Covering Ellipsoids* 

      Sun, Peng; Freund, Robert M. (2004-01)
      We present a practical algorithm for computing the minimum volume n-dimensional ellipsoid that must contain m given points a₁,..., am ∈ Rn. This convex constrained problem arises in a variety of applied computational ...
    • Simulation of Flow Field and Particle Trajectories in Hard Disk Drive Enclosures 

      Song, H.; Damodaran, Murali; Ng, Quock Y. (2004-01)
      The airflow field and particle trajectories inside hard disk drive (HDD) are investigated in this study using commercial software Fluent and Gambit. Three-dimensional grids inside the HDD configuration are built using ...
    • A Robust Optimization Approach to Supply Chain Management 

      Bertsimas, Dimitris J.; Thiele, Aurélie (2004-01)
      We propose a general methodology based on robust optimization to address the problem of optimally controlling a supply chain subject to stochastic demand in discrete time. The attractive features of the proposed approach ...
