    Description / Table of Contents: Riassunto Si definisce un modello generale (PAULA) per la valutazione, selezione e gestione ottimale di progetti certi alternativi. Sfruttando i risvolti formali e finanziari dei problemi lineari associati (diretto e duale), si formulano poi due proposte per definire una legge finanziaria interna (IFL) ottimale, utili sia per abbattere la molteplicità intrinseca delleIFL, sia per evitare risultati economicamente arbitrari nel loro uso.
    Notes: Abstract We define a general model (called PAULA) for the valuation, optimal management and selection among mutually exclusive safe projects. By exploiting the formal and financial features of the associated linear problems (primal and dual), we put forward two proposals to define an optimal internal financial law (IFL). They may be used to reduce the multiplicity of the IFLs and to avoid economically arbitrary outcomes.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Separabele Markoffsche Entscheidungsprobleme haben die Eigenschaft, daß für gewisse Paare (i, a) von Zuständeni und zugehörigen Aktionena gilt: (i) die unmittelbare Auszahlung ist die Summe zweier Terme, von denen der eine nur vom Zustand und der andere nur von der Aktion abhängt (ria=si+ta), (ii) die Übergangswahrscheinlichkeiten hängen nur von der Aktion ab und nicht vom Zustand, in dem diese Aktion gewählt wurde. Dieses Modell wurde schon gegen Ende der Sechziger Jahre untersucht. Es wurde bewiesen, daß diskontierte Probleme und undiskontierte Probleme mit nur einer rekurrenten Klasse als lineare Programme mit weniger Variablen als im allgemeinen Modell formuliert werden können. Es war bisher unbekannt, ob auch für undiskontierte Modelle mit mehreren rekurrenten Klassen eine Formulierung mit weniger Variablen existiert. Dieses Problem wird in der vorliegenden Arbeit gelöst: eine solche Formulierung ist möglich. Abschließend werden einige Anwendungen von separablen Modellen angegeben.
    Notes: Summary Separable Markovian decision problems have the property that for certain pairs (i, a) of a statei and an actiona: (i) the immediate reward is the sum of terms due to the current state and action (ria=Si+ta), (ii) the transition probability depends only on the action and not on the state from which the transition occurs. The separable model was studied already in the late sixties. For the discounted case and the unichain undiscounted case a reduced LP formulation was given, which involves a substantially smaller number of variables than in the LP formulation of a general Markov decision problem. It was unknown whether such an efficient formulation was also possible in the multichain case. This paper solves this problem: such an efficient formulation can be obtained. Some applications of separable models are also presented.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung In der vorliegenden Arbeit betrachten wir das Problem der Bestimmung ganzzahliger Lösungen für das Standardproblem der eindimensionalen Zuschnittplanung. Insbesondere werden eine spezielle Klasse heuristischer Lösungsverfahren, die in der Literatur beschrieben sind, sowie einige naheliegende Varianten dieser Verfahren vorgestellt. Auf der Grundlage eines numerischen Experiments, bei dem 4.000 Probleme zufällig erzeugt und gelöst wurden, werden die Verfahren miteinander verglichen und im Hinblick auf die Kriterien „Lösungsqualität“ und „Rechenzeitbedarf“ beurteilt. Dabei zeigt sich nicht nur, daß zwei Verfahren deutlich besser als die übrigen einzustufen sind, sondern auch, daß mit ihrer Hilfe nahezu jede Problemausprägung des klassischen eindimensionalen Zuschneideproblems optimal gelöst werden kann.
    Notes: Abstract In this paper the problem of generating integer solutions to the standard one-dimensional cutting stock problem is treated. In particular, we study a specific class of heuristic approaches that have been proposed in the literature, and some straightforward variants. These methods are compared with respect to solution quality and computing time. Our evaluation is based on having solved 4,000 randomly generated test problems. Not only will it be shown that two methods are clearly superior to the others but also that they solve almost any instance of the standard one-dimensional cutting stock problem to an optimum.

    Description / Table of Contents: Abstract The city of Hamburg expects for the next years enormously increasing rates of pupils. Covering the additional need of classrooms by new building is very expensive. It would be better to avoid this by making good use of the existing resources. The possible steps for covering the requirements and the restrictions are explained subsequently. There are a lot of alternatives, which must be coordinated for a “good” solution in a suitable way. The mathematical model for this problem is described furthermore. The model in question belongs to the class of mixed integer problems. Finally the standard optimization software SCICONIC, which is used for solving the mixed integer problem, is introduced and the embedding of SCICONIC into the architecture of the evolved planning system is described. Because the users of the system are officers without knowledge in electronic data processing and mathematical programming, a user friendly interface is of special importance in this case. This paper does not include new mathematical cognition, but describes the skilled use of known OR-techniques in a real software project.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Die Stadt Hamburg sieht in den nächsten Jahren eine beträchtliche Schülerwelle auf sich zukommen. Daraus resultiert zusätzlicher Klassenraumbedarf, der durch Neubau nur sehr kostspielig gedeckt werden kann. Durch systematische Ausnutzung von bestehenden Raumreserven lassen sich teure Neubaumaßnahmen weitgehend vermeiden. Im folgenden werden zunächst die möglichen Maßnahmen zur Raumbedarfsdeckung mit ihren einschränkenden Bedingungen aufgezeigt. Die Maßnahmen erlauben eine Vielzahl von Handlungsalternativen, die zum wirksamen Einsatz optimal aufeinander abgestimmt werden müssen. Das mathematische Modell zur Lösung dieses Problems wird in der weiteren Folge beschrieben. Es handelt sich um ein gemischt ganzzahliges Optimierungsproblem. Abschließend wird die zur Lösung eingesetzte Standard-Optimierungs-Software SCICONIC vorgestellt und die Einbindung von SCICONIC in das entwickelte Raumplanungssystem geschildert. Da die Anwender des Systems Sachbearbeiter ohne DV- und OR-Erfahrung sind, hat hier Benutzerfreundlichkeit eine besonders hohe Bedeutung. Der vorliegende Aufsatz erhebt nicht den Anspruch auf neue mathematische Erkenntnisse, sondern er beschreibt die fachgerechte Anwendung bekannter OR-Verfahren in einem Software-Projekt der Praxis.

    Notes: Abstract This paper discusses the advantages of using spreadsheets for problem specification and report generation in optimization projects. It summarizes some of the mathematical programming software which is compatible with popular spreadsheets. A small production planning problem is used to illustrate the steps in input and processing of the results. Two programs are compared in detail.

    Notes: Abstract A cutting plane method for linear programming is described. This method is an extension of Atkinson and Vaidya's algorithm, and uses the central trajectory. The logarithmic barrier function is used explicitly, motivated partly by the successful implementation of such algorithms. This makes it possible to maintain primal and dual iterates, thus allowing termination at will, instead of having to solve to completion. This algorithm has the same complexity (O(nL 2) iterations) as Atkinson and Vaidya's algorithm, but improves upon it in that it is a “long-step” version, while theirs is a “short-step” one in some sense. For this reason, this algorithm is computationally much more promising as well. This algorithm can be of use in solving combinatorial optimization problems with large numbers of constraints, such as the Traveling Salesman Problem.

    Notes: Abstract This is a review of the literature on parallel computers and algorithms that is relevant for combinatorial optimization. We start by describing theoretical as well as realistic machine models for parallel computations. Next, we deal with the complexity theory for parallel computations and illustrate the resulting concepts by presenting a number of polylog parallel algorithms andP-completeness results. Finally, we discuss the use of parallelism in enumerative methods.

    Notes: Abstract A gradient projection successive overrelaxation (GP-SOR) algorithm is proposed for the solution of symmetric linear complementary problems and linear programs. A key distinguishing feature of this algorithm is that when appropriately parallelized, the relaxation factor interval (0, 2) isnot reduced. In a previously proposed parallel SOR scheme, the substantially reduced relaxation interval mandated by the coupling terms of the problem often led to slow convergence. The proposed parallel algorithm solves a general linear program by finding its least 2-norm solution. Efficiency of the algorithm is in the 50 to 100 percent range as demonstrated by computational results on the CRYSTAL token-ring multicomputer and the Sequent Balance 21000 multiprocessor.
