Physicists have devised an algorithm that provides a mathematical framework for how learning works in lattices called mechanical neural networks. It's easy to think that machine learning is a ...

Management Science, Vol. 37, No. 8 (Aug., 1991), pp. 909-925 (17 pages) This paper is concerned with the general dynamic lot size model, or (generalized) Wagner-Whitin model. Let n denote the number ...

The author presents a rapidly convergent algorithm to solve the general portfolio problem of maximizing concave utility functions subject to linear constraints. The algorithm is based on an iterative ...
