Product Description: Die Multimoment-oder Haufigkeitsstudie, in der angelsachsischen Literatur als Activity Sampling oder Work Sampling bezeichnet, hat in letzter Zeit eine steigende Bedeutung fur das Arbeitsstudienwesen erlangt. Das Verfahren wurde ursprunglich zur Bestimmung der Brachzeiten von Webstuhlen entwickelt...read more

Product Description: This study has grown out of a part of the author's thesis "Some Simple and Bulk Queueing Systems: A Study of Their Transient Behavior" submitted to the University of Western Australia (1964) and a course on Queueing Theory given to graduate students in the Operations Research Group of Case Institute of Technology, Cleveland, Ohio...read more

Product Description: This monograph is an introduction to optimal control theory for systems governed by vector ordinary differential equations. It is not intended as a state-of-the-art handbook for researchers. We have tried to keep two types of reader in mind: (1) mathematicians, graduate students, and advanced undergraduates in mathematics who want a concise introduction to a field which contains nontrivial interesting applications of mathematics (for example, weak convergence, convexity, and the theory of ordinary differential equations); (2) economists, applied scientists, and engineers who want to understand some of the mathematical foundations...read more

Product Description: This work is conceived as a modem study of the relationships of the concept of human freedom with the moral concepts of responsibility and obligation and other closely allied notions. One pitfall into which writers on my sub­ jects have occasionally fallen has been that of spending too much time in critically examining positions and arguments which no sane philosopher has ever offered...read more

Product Description: In these lecture notes which grew out of my lectures at the Honours classes of Honash University, I have attempted to develop queueing and storage problems from a unified viewpoint. It has been recognized a decade ago that many of the queueing and storage problems belong to the same family of stochastic processes; so a problem in storage theory may bave an analogue in a queueing situation and vice versa...read more

Product Description: The present work is an extended version of a manuscript of a course which the author taught at the University of Hamburg during summer 1969. The main purpose has been to give a rigorous foundation of stochastic dynamic programming in a manner which makes the theory easily applicable to many different practical problems...read more

Product Description: Due to the limited number of digits or bits per storage location in electronic computers, round-off errors arise during arithmetic operations. Depending upon the kind of operation, the structure of the data, and the skillfulness of the program, these errors increase and spread out more or less quickly during a continued computation process in which the computed data affected by errors are themselves used for generating new data...read more

Product Description: These notes originate from a couple of lectures which were given in the Econometric Workshop of the Center for Operations Research and Econometrics (CORE) at the Catholic University of Louvain. The participants of the seminars were recommended to read the first four chapters of Seber's book [40], but the exposition of the material went beyond Seber's exposition, if it seemed necessary...read more

Product Description: 1 1. Statement of the problem. Bayes' theorem provides a very powerful tool for statistical inference, especially when pooling information from different sources is appropriate. Thus, prior information resulting from economic theory and/or from previous (real or hypothetical) samples can be combined with the information embodied in new observations; and this operation can be performed formally, within a rigorous mathematical framework...read more

Product Description: Imbedding is a powerful and versatile tool for problem­ solving. Rather than treat a question in isolation, we view it as a member of a family of related problems. Each member then becomes a stepping stone in a path to a simultaneous solution of the entire set of problems...read more

Product Description: Das Ziel dieser Ausarbeitung ist, Studenten jUngerer und mittlerer Se mester mit einigen Entwicklungen dar kooperativen Spie1theorie be kannt zu machen. Dabei haben wir insbesondere die seit einiger Zeit zunehmend interessierenden Anwendungen in der mathematischen Okono mie 1m Auge, da ein Lehrbuch oder eine zusammenfassende Darstellung dieses Gebietes anscheinend nicht existiert...read more
