this paper investigates an epq model with the increasing demand and demand dependent production rate involving the trade credit financing policy, which is seldom reported in the literatures. the model considers the manufacturer was offered by the supplier a delayed payment time. it is assumed that the demand is a linear increasing function of the time and the production rate is proportional to ...

It was recently discovered by Baik, Deift and Johansson [4] that the asymptotic distribution of the length of the longest increasing subsequence in a permutation chosen uniformly at random from Sn, properly centred and normalised, is the same as the asymptotic distribution of the largest eigenvalue of an n × n GUE random matrix, properly centred and normalised, as n → ∞. This distribution had e...

In a famous paper 8] Hammersley investigated the length L n of the longest increasing subsequence of a random n-permutation. Implicit in that paper is a certain one-dimensional continuous-space interacting particle process. By studying a hydrodynamical limit for Hammersley's process we show by fairly \soft" arguments that limn ?1=2 EL n = 2. This is a known result, but previous proofs (Vershik-...

We compute the limit distribution for the (centered and scaled) length of the longest increasing subsequence of random colored permutations. The limit distribution function is a power of that for usual random permutations computed recently by Baik, Deift, and Johansson (math.CO/9810105). In the two–colored case our method provides a different proof of a similar result by Tracy and Widom about t...

If social “harm” is an inverse-U function against the degree of control of illicit drug markets, and if revenue can proxy “harm,” what demand functions result in increasing marginal revenue?
