Schur Convexity for Two Classes of Symmetric Functions and Their Applications

For x =(x1, x2, ···, xn) ∈ Rn+∪ Rn-, the symmetric functions Fn(x, r) and Gn(x, r) are defined by r1 + xFij n(x, r) = Fn(x1, x2, ···, xn; r) =x1≤iij1i2···ir ≤n j=1and r1- xGij n(x, r) = Gn(x1, x2, ···, xn; r) =,x1≤i1i2···ir ≤n j=1ij respectively, where r = 1, 2, ···, n, and i1, i2, ···, in are positive integers. In this paper,the Schur convexity of Fn(x, r) and Gn(x, r) are discussed. As applications, by a bijective transformation of independent variable for a Schur convex function, the authors obtain Schur convexity for some other symmetric functions, which subsumes the main results in recent literature; and by use of the theory of majorization establish some inequalities. In particular, the authors derive from the results of this paper the Weierstrass inequalities and the Ky Fan's inequality, and give a generalization of Safta's conjecture in the n-dimensional space and others.     

Design of manufacturing systems using queueing models

Design issues in various types of manufacturing systems such as flow lines, automatic transfer lines, job shops, flexible machining systems, flexible assembly systems and multiple cell systems are addressed in this paper. Approaches to resolving these design issues of these systems using queueing models are reviewed. In particular, we show how the structural properties that are recently derived for single and multiple stage queueing systems can be used effectively in the solution of certain design optimization problems.Supported in part by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada via Operating and Strategic Grants on Modeling and Analyses of Production Systems and Modeling and Implementation of Just-in-Time Cells.Supported in part by the NSF Grants ECS-8811234 and DDM-9113008 and by Sloan Foundation Grants for the Consortium for Competitiveness and Cooperation and for the study on Competitive Semiconductor Manufacturing.

On Schurity of Finite Abelian Groups

A finite group G is called a Schur group, if any Schur ring over G is associated in a natural way with a subgroup of Sym(G) that contains all right translations. Recently, the authors have completely identified the cyclic Schur groups. In this article, it is shown that any abelian Schur group belongs to one of several explicitly given families only. In particular, any noncyclic abelian Schur group of odd order is isomorphic to ?₃ × ?_{3 ^k} or ?₃ × ?₃ × ? _p where k ≥ 1 and p is a prime. In addition, we prove that ?₂ × ?₂ × ? _p is a Schur group for every prime p.
