A natural optimization model that formulates many online resource allocation problems is the online linear programming (LP) problem in which the constraint matrix is revealed column by column along ...

Using an illustration drawn from the area of inventory control, this paper demonstrates how a typical sequential probabilistic model may be formulated in terms of (a) an initial decision rule and (b) ...

Diet models based on goal programming (GP) are valuable tools in designing diets that comply with nutritional, palatability and cost constraints. Results derived from GP models are usually very ...
