The design of robust value-creating supply chain networks: A critical review

This paper discusses Supply Chain Network (SCN) design problem under uncertainty, and presents a critical review of the optimization models proposed in the literature. Some drawbacks and missing aspects in the literature are pointed out, thus motivating the development of a comprehensive SCN design methodology. Through an analysis of supply chains uncertainty sources and risk exposures, the paper reviews key random environmental factors and discusses the nature of major disruptive events threatening SCN. It also discusses relevant strategic SCN design evaluation criteria, and it reviews their use in existing models. We argue for the assessment of SCN robustness as a necessary condition to ensure sustainable value creation. Several definitions of robustness, responsiveness and resilience are reviewed, and the importance of these concepts for SCN design is discussed. This paper contributes to framing the foundations for a robust SCN design methodology.

Montel-Type Theorems in Several Complex Variables with Continuously Moving Targets

The authors introduce a new idea related to Montel-type theorems in higher dimension and prove some Montel-type criteria for normal families of holomorphic mappings and normal holomorphic mappings of several complex variables into p^N （C） for continuously moving hyperplanes in pointwise general position. The main results are also true for continuously moving hypersurfaces in pointwise general position. Examples are given to show the sharpness of the results.

Positive Solutions for Semipositone ( p,n − p ) Right Focal Boundary Value Problems

We consider the ( p , n m p ) right focal boundary value problem: $${\matrix{{(- 1)^{n - p} u^{(n)} \! = \lambda \;f(t, u), } \hfill & \ {{\rm for }\ 0 \lt t \lt 1, } \hfill \cr \quad \quad \,{u^{(i)} (0) = 0, } \hfill & {0 \le i \le p - 1, } \hfill \cr \quad \quad \,{u^{(i)} (1) = 0, } \hfill & {p \le i \le n - 1, } \hfill \cr}} $$ where 1 h p h n m 1 is fixed and u > 0. Using a fixed point theorem for operators on a cone, we develop criteria for the existence of positive solutions of the boundary value problem for u on a suitable interval.     

Fixed point theorems for multivalued operators and application to discontinuous quasilinear BVP's

In this article, we prove an abstract fixed point theorem for increasing multivalued operators in ordered topological spaces, which provides an efficient tool to obtain qualitative results on the solution set of discontinuous quasilinear elliptic boundary value problems. In particular, we are able to show the existence of extremal solutions of such problems.     

On Perturbed Discrete Boundary Value Problems

In this paper, we study nonlinear discrete boundary value problems of the form x ( t +1)= A ( t ) x ( t )+ h ( t )+ k f ( t , x ( t ), k ) subject to Bx (0)+ Dx ( J )= u + k g ( x (0), x ( J ), k ) where k is a "small" parameter. Our main concern is the case of resonance, that is, the situation where the associated linear homogeneous boundary value problem x ( t +1)= A ( t ) x ( t ), Bx (0)+ Dx ( J )=0 admits nontrivial solutions. We establish conditions for the solvability of the nonlinear boundary value problem when k is "small". We also establish qualitative properties of these solutions.     

Exceptional sets related to Hayman's alternative

Let E be a subset of the complex plane C consisting of a countable set of points tending to ∞ and let k?1 be an integer. We derive a spacing condition (dependent on k) on the points of E which ensures that, if f is a function meromorphic in C with sufficiently large Nevanlinna deficiency at the poles, then either f takes every complex value infinitely often, or the kth derivative f(k) takes every non-zero complex value infinitely often, in C−E. This improves a previous result of Langley.
