(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)In this thesis, we examine a recent paradigm for solving dynamic optimization problems under uncertainty, whereby one considers decisions that depend directly on the sequence of observed disturbances. The resulting policies, ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)We propose new models and optimization methods for airline revenue management and pricing. In the first part of this thesis, we study the dynamic inventory control problem for a single flight under imperfect market ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)The electricity industry has been experiencing fundamental changes over the past decade. Two of the arguably most significant driving forces are the integration of renewable energy resources into the electric power system ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)The cost of air traffic delays is well documented, and furthermore, it is known that the significant proportion of delays is incurred at airports. Much of the air traffic flow management literature focuses on traffic flows ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)(cont.) Second, for almost all 0-1 bipartite instances, we give a lower bound on the integrality gap of various linear programming relaxations of this problem. Finally, we show that for almost all 0-1 bipartite instances, ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)(cont.) However, these randomized algorithms can never provide proven upper or lower bounds on the number of objects they are counting, but can only give probabilistic estimates. We propose a set of deterministic algorithms ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)In the first part of this thesis we present a new, geometric interpretation of the jump number problem on 2-dimensional 2-colorable (2D2C) partial order. We show that the jump number of a 2D2C poset is equivalent to the ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)This thesis presents efficient algorithms that give optimal or near-optimal solutions for problems with non-linear objective functions that arise in discrete, continuous and robust optimization. First, we present a general ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)In this thesis we study three problems related to financial modeling. First, we study the problem of pricing Employee Stock Options (ESOs) from the point of view of the issuing company. Since an employee cannot trade or ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)This thesis investigates the application of robust optimization in the performance analysis of queueing and inventory systems. In the first part of the thesis, we propose a new approach for performance analysis of queueing ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)In this thesis we consider three combinatorial optimization problems. Specifically, we study packing and scheduling questions of relevance in several areas of operations research, including interconnection networks and ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)Buyout options allow bidders to instantly purchase at a specified price an item listed for sale through an online auction. A temporary buyout option disappears once a regular bid above the reserve price is made, while a ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)We study three capacity expansion problems in contemporary long distance telecommunication networks. The first two problems, motivated by a major long distance provider, address capacity expansion in national hybrid long ...
-
The case for coordination : equity, efficiency and passenger impacts in air traffic flow management (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)In this thesis, we develop multi-resource integer optimization formulations for coordinating Traffic Flow Management (TFM) programs with equity considerations. Our multi-resource approaches ignore aircraft connectivity ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)In the first part, we study the problem of minimizing a separable concave function over a polyhedron. We assume the concave functions are nonnegative nondecreasing on R+, and the polyhedron is in RI' (these assumptions can ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)The thesis investigates the costs and benefits of free competition as opposed to central regulation to coordinate the incentives of various participants in a market. The overarching goal of the thesis is to decide whether ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)Pricing of a perishable product over a multi-period time horizon is a challenging problem under an oligopolistic market framework. We propose and study a model for multi-period pricing in an oligopolistic market for a ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)The catalog industry is a large and important industry in the US economy. One of the most important and challenging business decisions in the industry is to decide who should receive catalogs, due to the significant mailing ...
