OPERATIONS RESEARCH: THEORY AND APPLICATIONS

Some Applications of Semidefinite Optimization from an Operations Research Viewpoint

Operations Research and Management Science Applications of Fuzzy Theory

Operations Research, OR, and Management Science, MS, methodologies attempt to aid "human decision-making" for the improvement of various performance indecies in operation and control of complex "humanistic systems". A historical review of Zadeh's papers and fuzzy system applications reveal that OR, and MS applications were started early in the development of fuzzy systems, even before the adven...

Applications of Methods of Operations Research and Modern Economic Theory

It is rather a pity that we received only three papers especially devoted to subject 2, "applications of methods of operations research and modern economic theory". Maybe the time for real applications of operations research techniques in the insurance field has still to come. However, I am convinhed that sooner or later such techn i q u e s i n connection with the use of the computor--wil l pl...

Applications of Graph Operations

In this paper, some applications of our earlier results in working with chemical graphs are presented.

Principles and Applications of Operations Research

This chapter will provide an overview of Operations Research (O.R.) from the perspective of an industrial engineer. The focus of the chapter is on the basic philosophy behind O.R. and the so-called “O.R. approach” to solving design and operational problems that industrial engineers commonly encounter. In its most basic form, O.R. may be viewed as a scientific approach to solving problems; it ab...
