Tales from a Nonstandard Career in Operations Research
نویسنده
چکیده
This is a personal account of an unusual career in OR. I am both a researcher and a practitioner. Each of these aspects of me has benefited greatly from the other. In spite of my limited mathematical skills, over the years I have been able to contribute OR theory I am proud of. This paper is a largely collection stories about the ideas I have contributed and their often practical sources. The subject areas covered are sequencing theory, bidding theory, queuing theory, and energy economics. There are also short sections on my roles in practice publications and teaching.

متن کاملNarration the Lived Experiences of Career Couples of Family Function, Health Dimension
Introduction: Family function has been changed by the couple's simultaneous employment and presents particular problems for the family and the couples. One of the dimensions that is strongly influenced by the functioning of the working couple's family is the health dimension. The purpose of this study was to extract living experiences of career couples from the health aspect of family functioni...
متن کاملA numerical method for discrete fractional--order chemostat model derived from nonstandard numerical scheme
In this paper, the fractional--order form of three dimensional chemostat model with variable yields is introduced. The stability analysis of this fractional system is discussed in detail. In order to study the dynamic behaviours of the mentioned fractional system, the well known nonstandard (NSFD) scheme is implemented. The proposed NSFD scheme is compared with the forward Euler and ...
متن کاملPositivity-preserving nonstandard finite difference Schemes for simulation of advection-diffusion reaction equations
Systems in which reaction terms are coupled to diffusion and advection transports arise in a wide range of chemical engineering applications, physics, biology and environmental. In these cases, the components of the unknown can denote concentrations or population sizes which represent quantities and they need to remain positive. Classical finite difference schemes may produce numerical drawback...
متن کاملA New Approach to Nonstandard Analysis
In this paper, we propose a new approach to nonstandard analysis without using the ultrafilters. This method is very simple in practice. Moreover, we construct explicitly the total order relation in the new field of the infinitesimal numbers. To illustrate the importance of this work, we suggest comparing a few applications of this approach with the former methods.
