We study the performance of Empirical Revenue Maximizing (ERM) mechanism in a single-item, single-seller, single-buyer setting. assume buyer’s valuation is drawn from regular distribution F and that seller has access to two independently samples F. By solving family mixed-integer linear programs (MILPs), ERM proven guarantee at least .5914 times optimal revenue expectation. Using solutions thes...

in this paper the real-world occurrence of the multiple-product multiple-constraint single period newsboy problem with two objectives, in which there is incremental discounts on the purchasing prices, is investigated. the constraints are the warehouse capacity and the batch forms of the order placements. the first objective of this problem is to find the order quantities such that the expected ...

this paper uses the l1−norm and the concept of the non-dominated vector, topropose a method to find a well-dispersed subset of non-dominated (wdsnd) vectorsof a multi-objective mixed integer linear programming (momilp) problem.the proposed method generalizes the proposed approach by tohidi and razavyan[tohidi g., s. razavyan (2014), determining a well-dispersed subset of non-dominatedvectors of...

‎In this paper‎, ‎some KKT type sufficient global optimality conditions‎ ‎for general mixed integer nonlinear programming problems with‎ ‎equality and inequality constraints (MINPP) are established‎. ‎We achieve‎ ‎this by employing a Lagrange function for MINPP‎. ‎In addition‎, ‎verifiable sufficient global optimality conditions for general mixed‎ ‎integer quadratic programming problems are der...

although several papers have studied no-idle scheduling problems, they all focus on flow shops, assuming one processor at each working stage. but, companies commonly extend to hybrid flow shops by duplicating machines in parallel in stages. this paper considers the problem of scheduling no-idle hybrid flow shops. a mixed integer linear programming model is first developed to mathematically form...
