    • Averaging Schemes for Solving Fived Point and Variational Inequality Problems 

      Magnanti, Thomas L.; Perakis, Georgia (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Operations Research Center, 1994-07)
      We develop and study averaging schemes for solving fixed point and variational inequality problems. Typically, researchers have established convergence results for solution methods for these problems by establishing ...

    • On Setup Cost Reduction in the Economic Lot-Sizing Model Without Speculative Motives 

      Hoesel, Stan Van; Wagelmans, Albert (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Operations Research Center, 1991-08)
      An important special case of the economic lot-sizing problem is the one in which there are no speculative motives to hold inventory, i.e., the marginal cost of producing one unit in some period plus the cost of holding it ...

    • Monotone Control of Queueing and Production/Inventory Systems 

      Veatch, Michael H.; Wein, Lawrence M. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Operations Research Center, 1991-08)
      Weber and Stidham (1987) used submodularity to establish transition monotonicity (a service completion at one station cannot reduce the service rate at another station) for Markovian queueing networks that meet certain ...
