Given a complete graph [Formula: see text], with nonnegative edge costs, two subsets [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], a partition [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], a clustered Steiner tree is a tree [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] that spans all vertices in [Formula: see text] such that [Formula: see text] can be cut into [Formula: see text] subtrees [Formula: see text] by removing [Formula: see text] edges and each subtree [Formula: see text] spans all vertices in [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text]. The cost of a clustered Steiner tree is defined to be the sum of the costs of all its edges. A clustered selected-internal Steiner tree of [Formula: see text] is a clustered Steiner tree for [Formula: see text] if all vertices in [Formula: see text] are internal vertices of [Formula: see text]. The clustered selected-internal Steiner tree problem is concerned with the determination of a clustered selected-internal Steiner tree [Formula: see text] for [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] in [Formula: see text] with minimum cost. In this paper, we present the first known approximation algorithm with performance ratio [Formula: see text] for the clustered selected-internal Steiner tree problem, where [Formula: see text] is the best-known performance ratio for the Steiner tree problem.

The article presents a solution to the problem of choosing the brand composition of truck tractors for the recruitment of transport divisions of oil pipeline enterprises. The main task of transport departments is to meet the needs of the main production. The equipment is operated under harsh conditions, as well as after the end of the regulatory period of use and needs to be updated quickly. Despite the timely maintenance and repair of freight rolling stock, frequent failures and increasing repair costs make further operation economically inefficient. When updating the fleet of vehicles, there is a problem in choosing the best in terms of the technical characteristics of the vehicle, but at the minimum cost. The purpose of the study is to optimize the costs of acquiring and operating special equipment of Transneft-Siberia JSC by developing a methodology for determining the rational grade composition of truck tractors. According to the a priori ranking method, the opinion of specialists and heads of transport divisions of Transneft-Siberia JSC was determined. For the study, the most popular brands of truck tractors of domestic and foreign production were chosen. As a result of the survey, the ranks of operational indicators of truck tractors and their weight are determined by the reverse ratio. The most signifi¬cant indicator as a result of a priori ranking is the cost of one unit of the vehicle. Integral coefficient components calculated relative to average value of each indicator are identified for each indicator. As a result of the study, it was revealed that for the renewal of the fleet of truck tractors, it is advisable to give preference mainly to foreign manufacturers. The integral factor, taking into account the weight of operational parameters, makes it possible to objectively evaluate the quality of truck tractors. The method of determining the integral coefficient is proposed, when using which it is possible to reduce the cost of acquiring and operating vehicles with an increase in the development of special equipment. Further areas of research are determination of integral factors for the fleet, including technological transport, as well as determination of the optimal nomenclature of special equipment for transport divisions of oil pipeline industry enterprises.

The effect of experimental error in tool life testing on the determination of the minimum cost cutting speed (Vmin) is investigated by using the concept of statistical inference. It is shown that Vmin is not uniquely defined but lies within a probable interval of cutting speeds, and that this interval is affected by the cost and time parameters and the experimental range of feed in tool life testing. The selection of a specific speed from the Vmin confidence interval is illustrated by a decision rule based on the minimax principle.

As a green city, Surabaya had been developing a program of an environmentally friendly concept in almost all sectors. One of the developed sectors with this concept is the tourism area around the Kalimas river. Tour by riding a small passenger leisure boat is the most favorite recreational option. The leisure boat designs with environmentally friendly solar-powered concepts were developed, but regarding PV power and battery capacity determination, almost all designs are not optimal. This research is aimed to obtain the optimal PV power and battery capacity by calculating the number of PV panels and batteries with minimum cost. A Linear programming approach by Simplex method is applied in the optimization calculation. The results show that the number of the battery of the previous design can be reduced from 4 (four) units (20 kWh) becomes 3 (three) units (15 kWh) and the number of PV panels are still the same number with the previous one, i.e., 7 (seven) units (2,24 kW). The optimum system cost is around 264 million rupiahs, which means that the cost is reducing around 81 million rupiahs or 24%.

The concept of cost efficiency has become tremendously popular in data envelopment analysis (DEA) as it serves to assess a decision-making unit (DMU) in terms of producing minimum-cost outputs. A large variety of precise and imprecise models have been put forward to measure cost efficiency for the DMUs which have a role in constructing the production possibility set; yet, there’s not an extensive literature on the cost efficiency (CE) measurement for sample DMUs (SDMUs). In an effort to remedy the shortcomings of current models, herein is introduced a generalized cost efficiency model that is capable of operating in a fuzzy environment-involving different types of fuzzy numbers-while preserving the Farrell’s decomposition of cost efficiency. Moreover, to the best of our knowledge, the present paper is the first to measure cost efficiency by using vectors. Ultimately, a useful example is provided to confirm the applicability of the proposed methods.

Subject. The study analyzes generally accepted approaches to assessing the value of companies on the basis of financial statement data of ExxonMobil, Chevron, ConocoPhillips, Occidental Petroleum, Devon Energy, Anadarko Petroleum, EOG Resources, Apache, Marathon Oil, Imperial Oil, Suncor Energy, Husky Energy, Canadian Natural Resources, Royal Dutch Shell, Gazprom, Rosneft, LUKOIL, and others, for 1999—2018. Objectives. The aim is to determine the specifics of using the methods of cost, DFC, and comparative approaches to assessing the value of share capital of oil and gas companies. Methods. The study employs methods of statistical analysis and generalization of materials of scientific articles and official annual reports on the results of financial and economic activities of the largest public oil and gas corporations. Results. Based on the results of a comprehensive analysis, I identified advantages and disadvantages of standard approaches to assessing the value of oil and gas producers. Conclusions. The paper describes pros and cons of the said approaches. For instance, the cost approach is acceptable for assessing the minimum cost of small companies in the industry. The DFC-based approach complicates the reliability of medium-term forecasts for oil prices due to fluctuations in oil prices inherent in the industry, on which the net profit and free cash flow of companies depend to a large extent. The comparative approach enables to quickly determine the range of possible value of the corporation based on transactions data and current market situation.
