Who should practice price discrimination using rebates in an asymmetric duopoly?
(Springer Science+Business Media, 2010-03)
Price discrimination is generally thought to improve firm profits by allowing firms to extract more consumer surplus. In competition, however, price discrimination may also be costly to the firm because restrictive incentive ...
A retrospective view on‘‘3-dimensional radiation in absorbing, emitting and scattering media using discrete-ordinates approximation’’by J.S.Truelove
(Elsevier, 2010-06)
Discrete-ordinates (DO) approximations to the radiative transfer equation in three- dimensional enclosures have extensively been used during the last three decades. The 1988 paper by Truelove [1] is one of the pioneering ...
Scheduling ambulance crews for maximum coverage
(Palgrave MacMillan, 2010-04)
This paper addresses the problem of scheduling ambulance crews in order to maximize the coverage throughout a planning horizon. The problem includes the subproblem of locating ambulances to maximize expected coverage with ...
Discrepancy search for the flexible job shop scheduling problem
(Elsevier, 2010-12)
The flexible job shop scheduling problem (FJSP) is a generalization of the classical job shop problem in which each operation must be processed on a given machine chosen among a finite subset of candidate machines. The aim ...
Local density of electromagnetic states within a nanometric gap formed between two thin films supporting surface phonon polaritons
(AIP Publishing, 2010)
We present a detailed physical analysis of the near-field thermal radiation spectrum emitted by a silicon carbide (SiC) film when another nonemitting SiC layer is brought in close proximity. This is accomplished via the ...
Iterative near maximum-likelihood sequence detection for MIMO optical wireless systems
(IEEE, 2010-04)
A major performance-limiting factor in terrestrial optical wireless (OW) systems is turbulence-induced fading. Exploiting the additional degrees of freedom in the spatial dimension, multiple laser transmitters combined ...
The traveling salesman problem with pickups, deliveries, and handling costs
(Informs, 2010-08)
This paper introduces a new variant of the one-to-many-to-one single vehicle pickup and delivery problems (SVPDP) that incorporates the handling cost incurred when rearranging the load at the customer locations. The ...
A branch-and-cut algorithm for solving the non-preemptive capacitated swapping problem
(Elsevier, 2010-08-06)
This paper models and solves a capacitated version of the Non-Preemptive Swapping Problem. This problem is defined on a complete digraph , at every vertex of which there may be one unit of supply of an item, one unit of ...
Investigation of stochastic pairs trading strategies under different volatility regimes
(Blackwell, 2010-09)
We investigate several market-neutral trading strategies and find empirical evidence that market-neutral equity trading outperforms in 2008, the first full year of the global financial meltdown. In our experiments we use ...
Performance analysis of cooperative diversity networks with imperfect channel estimation
(IEEE, 2010)
In this paper, we investigate the effect of channel estimation error on the error rate performance of a multi-relay system with amplify-and-forward relaying. We consider orthogonal relaying and study both conventional ...
