About this title

Synopsis:

This volume contains two review articles: "Stochastic Pro­ gramming" by Vo V. Kolbin, and "Application of Queueing-Theoretic Methods in Operations Research, " by N. Po Buslenko and A. P. Cherenkovo The first article covers almost all aspects of stochastic programming. Many of the results presented in it have not pre­ viously been surveyed in the Soviet literature and are of interest to both mathematicians and economists. The second article com­ prises an exhaustive treatise on the present state of the art of the statistical methods of queueing theory and the statistical modeling of queueing systems as applied to the analysis of complex systems.
