An Alternative Simplex Criterion Under Degeneracy
When degeneracies occur, the simplex multipliers can no longer be interpreted as derivatives of the optimal value of the current basic feasible solution with respect to a non-basic variable. This paper develops an alternative criterion for…
An Empirical Study of the User-Computer Interface
A general model of conflict is applied to a description of the user-computer interface. The importance of minimizing conflict between users and the computer department is stressed. A questionnaire survey in six companies was used to help define…

An Extension of the Frank and Wolfe Method of Feasible Directions
The Frank and Wolfe method of feasible directions is shown to be a case of the more general computational approach of inner linearization followed by restriction. An extension is proposed based on this observation. The extended procedure…

Comparison of Nurse Allocation Policies -- A Monte Carlo Model
Many hospitals have historically used a fixed staffing policy for allocating nursing personnel, in which the daily demand in each ward is met by nurses who are permanently assigned to the specific wards. In recent years, the concept of variable…
Consequence Evaluation in Decision Analytic Models of Medical Screening, Diagnosis, and Treatment
This paper examines the problem of assigning values, or utilities, to separate consequences in decision analytic models of medical screening, diagnosis, and treatment. Several important issues related to this problem are studied, and a number of…

A Field Survey On Residential Crowding
An attempt was made to clarify the conditions under which humans feel crowded. Four broad types of variables were postulated: physical space, social interaction, duration of exposure, and subject variability.A field survey was taken among…

A Generalized Approach To Dantzig-Wolfe Decomposition For Concave Programs
The Dantzig-Wolfe decomposition procedure for concave programs can be viewed as inner linearization followed by restriction. In this paper an approach which allows selective inner linearization of functions and utilizes a generalized pricing…
