The basic financial purpose of an enterprise is maximization of its value. Trade credit management should also contribute to realization of this fundamental aim. Many of the current asset management models that are found in financial management literature assume book profit maximization as the basic financial purpose. These book profitbased models could be lacking in what relates to another aim...

Current assets and cash in enterprise are maintained for risk reduction purposes. The basic financial purpose of an enterprise is maximization of its value. Cash and current assets management should also contribute to realization of this fundamental aim. The enterprise value maximization strategy is executed with a focus on risk and uncertainty. This article presents the consequences that can r...

This paper presents a multi-objective multi-mode resource-constrained project scheduling problem (MRCPSP) with positive and negative cash flows. We consider the objectives of the net present value (NPV) maximization and robustness maximization along by makespan minimization. Furthermore, to make a model close to the real world situations, two types of commonly used payment models are considered...

Considerable efforts were made in recent years in devising optimization algorithms for influence maximization in networks. Here we ask: “When do we need optimization?” and apply insights from statistical mechanics, and direct simulations, to characterize the parameter-space region where optimization is required. We find that this region is due to a well known physical phase transition of the ne...

When the extension state of non-ellipsoidal extended target (NET) changes, performance traditional multiple tracking algorithms based on constant number sub-objects will decrease. To solve this problem, paper proposes a gamma Gaussian inverse Wishart probability hypothesis density filter for targets with varying sub-objects, called VN-NET-GGIW-PHD filter. In proposed filter, each NET is conside...
