We consider the problem of running a one-unit failure system such that the probability that the system is operating over an entire prespecified time interval (or at least at some time instant during the interval) is maximized. A fixed number of unused units having identically distributed random oper

Abstract
This paper describes a model and a decision support tool for the regulation of a lake–river system using both goal sets and goal points for the water level over the year. The inflow forecast is updated periodically, which results in a series of dynamic rolling horizon goal programming problems. This involves heavy computation, and yet it can be successfully done with the spreadsheet program. The related decision support tool with a graphical user interface is called Interactive analysis of dynamic water regulation Strategies by Multi‐criteria Optimization (ISMO). The Finnish Environment Institute (FEI) actively uses it in the generation of regulation policy alternatives when considered from the different perspectives of the stakeholders.

## Abstract This paper presents an empirical analysis of how Sweden's public old age pension system affects the retirement decision. We focus on male blue‐collar workers whose dominant income source as retired comes from the public old age pension system. We develop a dynamic programming model usin
A quadratic programming algorithm is presented for studying the design tradeoffs of active-passive vibration isolation systems. The novelty of the technique is that the optimal control problem is posed as a quadratic optimization with linear constraints. The quadratic cost function represents the me
A novel approach is presented which can be used to reduce the generalized eigenvalue problem associated with the free vibration of a linear elastic structure carrying lumped elements at s distinct locations. Using N component modes in the assumed-modes method, the free vibration of such a combined d
The dynamical Lie algebraic approach developed by Y. Alhassid and R. D. Levine (Phys Rev A 1978, 18, 89) combined with the intermediate picture is applied to the study of translational-vibrational energy transfer in the collinear collision between an atom and an anharmonic oscillator. By solving equ
