✦ Synopsis

We want to find the location of p facilities which minimize the expected total cost, when the cost for using a facility is a stochastic variable with unknown probability distribution. Using the method of the asymptotic approximations the expected optimal value of the allocation variables is shown to be a multinomial Logit model.

Consider a list of n files whose popularities are random. The list is updated according to the move-to-front rule. When the induced Markov chain is at equilibrium, we explicitly compute the limiting distribution of the search-cost per item as n tends to infinity. The uniform distribution results in

## Abstract This paper investigates the 1‐minimax and 1‐maximin problems when demand weights are random variables with general continuous probability distributions. Properties of the optimal solutions are presented and solution procedures are developed. We also identify some known probability distr

This paper studies the problem of simultaneous due-date determination and sequencing of a set of n jobs on a single machine where processing times are random variables and job earliness and tardiness costs are distinct. The objective is to determine the optimal sequence and the optimal due-dates whi
