SOME COMBINATORIAL PROBLEMS ARISING IN THE THEORY OF MULTI-STAGE PROCESSES

Abstract

Using the technique of continuous approximation, approximate solutions to a number of important multistage scheduling problems are determined. In addition, the functional equation approach of the theory of dynamic programming is used to derive an alternate proof.
