We first derive infinite systems of linear equations for the moments of the waiting time in two special cases, based on which we then develop several methods to calculate the moments of the waiting time by using MacLaurin series approximation, Padé approximation and truncation method. In addition, we show how the moments and covariances of the inter-departure times of the correlated queue can be calculated based on the moments of the waiting time. Finally, extensive numerical examples are provided to validate our methods.","PeriodicalId":55455,"journal":{"name":"Asia-Pacific Journal of Operational Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45136707","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Two types of non-availability intervals are studied, namely the machine non-availability (MNA) intervals and the operator non-availability (ONA) intervals. The objective is to minimize the sum of the maximum delivery completion time of accepted jobs and the total rejection cost of rejected jobs. For these two problems, a pseudo-polynomial-time dynamic programming algorithm and a fully polynomial-time approximation scheme (FPTAS) are proposed, respectively.","PeriodicalId":55455,"journal":{"name":"Asia-Pacific Journal of Operational Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48494367","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective is to determine the initial levels of all renewable resources and establish a schedule corresponding to each scenario such that the expected resource availability cost is minimized. We assume that resource shortfalls can be compensated externally but at a noticeable higher cost. We formulate the problem as a two-stage stochastic programming model (TSSPM). We also develop an exact decomposition-based algorithm (DBA) for the particular case of the problem with at most two resources, which also functions as a heuristic for the original problem. Since the number of scenarios influences the performance of the developed solution approaches, we utilize a fast scenario reduction method to reduce the number of scenarios. Computational results indicate that the DBA outperforms the TSSPM formulation in solution quality and CPU runtime.","PeriodicalId":55455,"journal":{"name":"Asia-Pacific Journal of Operational Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2023-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46618454","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
