This paper describes a new mathematical programming approach to sequential decision problems that have an underlying decision tree structure. The approach, based upon a characterization of strategies as extreme points of a 0-1 polytope called the 'decision tree polytope', is particularly suited to t

Recent years have seen an increasing cross-fertilization between the fields of decision analysis and forecasting. Decision-analytic models often require forecasts as inputs, and aspects of the Bayesian decision-theoretic framework underlying decision analysis have proved useful to forecasting, parti
Any directed graph, even a flow graph representing "spaghetti code", is shown here to have at least one loop tree, which is a structure of loops within loops in which no loops overlap. The nodes of the graph may be rearranged in such a way that, with respect to their new order, every edge proceeds i
