In addition to other methods we’ve discussed, a third type of variable spending model uses dynamic programming methods. These methods rely on complex computing power and mathematical equations to ...

The computational "inner loop" of this process is to calculate the average cost. That is, given a set of four packet sizes, compute the average number of packets needed for each order. A technique ...

This paper considers a minimum-cost network flow problem in a bipartite graph with a single sink. The transportation costs exhibit a staircase cost structure because such types of transportation cost ...
