Fundamental Investigations in Operations Research

Abstract

The project has been concerned with extending the fundamental theories underlying operations research. In particular it has focused on certain areas in mathematical programming, adaptive control, decision theory, and queuing theory. The research in mathematical programming has centered on integer and mixed integer problems. The adaptive control work has dealt with special classes of stochastic decision problems. The multidimensional utility function problem has been studied in decision theory. In queuing theory, which has long been descriptive in its approach, the emphasis has been on normative models, especially Markovian decision processes.
