In this paper, we consider period review (s, S) inventory systems with independent and identically distributed continuous demands and full backlogging. Using an approach recently proposed by Gong and Hu (1992), we derive an infinite system of linear equations for all moments of inventory level. Based on this infinite system, we develop two algorithms to calculate the moments of the inventory level. In the first one, we solve a finite system of linear equations whose solution converges to the moments as its dimension goes to infinity. In the second one, we in fact obtain the power series of the moments with respect to s and S. Both algorithms are based on some very simple recursive procedures. To show their efficiency and speed, we provide some numerical examples for the first algorithm.(s, S) INVENTORY SYSTEMS; DYNAMIC RECURSIVE EQUATIONS; INFINITE LINEAR EQUATIONS; MACLAURIN SERIES

Abstract In a previous paper by the author (1), a theoretical solution for a notched strip under longitudinal tension is given. The result demands the solution of an infinite system of linear equations. A considerable amount of labor is involved in solving such a system. It seems, however, that the labor can be diminished by adapting to the solution a process known as the promotion of rank. In this paper such a process is described and then applied to solve the problem of a notched strip under transverse bending. The solution of this problem seems also to be new. The numerical results obtained are compared graphically with the experimental results available.

A new approach to solve plate constructions using combined analytical and numerical methods has been developed in this paper. It is based on an exact solution of an equilibrium equation. The proposed mathematical model is implemented as a computer program in which known analytical formulae are rewritten as wrapper functions of two arguments. Partial derivatives are calculated using automatic differentiation. A solution of a system of linear equations is substituted to these functions and evaluated using the Einstein summation convention. The calculated results are presented and compared to other analytical and numerical ones. The boundary conditions are satisfied with high accuracy. The effectiveness of the present method is illustrated by examples of rectangular plates. The model can be extended with the ability to solve plates of any shape.

A new approach to solve Fuzzy Complex System of Linear Equations (FCSLE) based on fuzzy complex centre procedure is presented here. Few theorems related to the investigation are stated and proved. Finally the presented procedure is used to analyze an example problem of linear time invariant electric circuit with complex crisp coefficient and fuzzy complex sources. The results obtained are also compared with the known solutions and are found to be in good agreement.

Abstract In the earliest discussion of this problem Nicholson (1) expressed the potential as a series of spheroidal harmonics with coefficients satisfying an infinite system of linear equations, and gave a formula for an explicit solution; but this formula appears to be meaningless and its derivation to contain serious errors. In the present paper, starting tentatively from Nicholson's infinite system of linear equations, a much simpler, though still implicit, specification of the potential is developed; this involves a Fredholm integral equation the existence and uniqueness of whose solution are deducible from standard theory. The specification so obtained for the potential is shown rigorously to satisfy the differential equation and boundary conditions of the electrostatic problem. The Neumann series of the integral equation is shown to converge to its solution, so that the potential, and other aspects of the field, can be explicitly formulated and thus computed. The errors in Nicholson's process of solving his system of equations are exhibited in detail, and it is concluded that attempts to carry through that process without error cannot lead to an explicit solution.

Given an infinite system of linear equationswhere the aij depend on a parameter λ, the eigenvalue problem is to determine values of λ for which xj (j = 1, 2, …) are not all zero. This problem (Taylor (3) and Vaughan (4)) can arise in the vibration of rectangular plates. Little theoretical work, however, appears to have been done concerning the existence and determination of the eigenvalues. The usual procedure (see (3) and (4)) is to consider a truncated or reduced system of N equations and find the values of λ for which the determinant of the N × N matrix [aij] vanishes. If a particular λ tends to a constant value as N is increased then this value is assumed to be an eigenvalue. The question therefore arises as to what happens if no limit exists. Can we assert that there are no eigenvalues? By constructing an appropriate example we show that the non-existence of a limit does not imply the non-existence of eigenvalues. In order to construct our example we first establish a result concerning the Legendre polynomials.
