V. Zur Erinnerung an Rudolf Wagner

An Improved WAGNER-WHITIN Algorithm

We present an improved implementation of the Wagner-Whitin algorithm for economic lot-sizing problems based on the planning-horizon theorem and the Economic- Part-Period concept. The proposed method of this paper reduces the burden of the computations significantly in two different cases. We first assume there is no backlogging and inventory holding and set-up costs are fixed. The second model ...

Rudolf Virchow

Virchow was one of the 19th century’s foremost leaders in medicine and pathology. He was also a public health activist, social reformer, politician, and anthropologist. Virchow was the only child of a farmer and city treasurer in Schivelbein, Germany. He had a strong interest in natural science. In 1839, he received a scholarship from the Prussian Military Academy, where he was given the opport...

One of the basic results in extremal set theory was discovered in [1] and rediscovered in [2]: For a given number of k-element subsets of an n-set the shadow, that is, the set of ( k 1)-element subsets contained in at least one of the specified k-element subsets, is minimal, if the k-element subsets are chosen as an initial segment in the squashed order (see [10]; called colex order in [liD, th...
