2. Newsvendor model - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newsvendor_model

   Newsvendor model. The newsvendor (or newsboy or single-period[ 1] or salvageable) model is a mathematical model in operations management and applied economics used to determine optimal inventory levels. It is (typically) characterized by fixed prices and uncertain demand for a perishable product. If the inventory level is , each unit of demand ...

3. Knapsack problem - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knapsack_problem

   Definition. The most common problem being solved is the 0-1 knapsack problem, which restricts the number of copies of each kind of item to zero or one. Given a set of items numbered from 1 up to , each with a weight and a value , along with a maximum weight capacity , subject to and . Here represents the number of instances of item to include ...

4. Change-making problem - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Change-making_problem

   Change-making problem. The change-making problem addresses the question of finding the minimum number of coins (of certain denominations) that add up to a given amount of money. It is a special case of the integer knapsack problem, and has applications wider than just currency. It is also the most common variation of the coin change problem, a ...

5. Fermi problem - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermi_problem

   Fermi problem. In physics or engineering education, a Fermi problem (or Fermi quiz, Fermi question, Fermi estimate ), also known as a order-of-magnitude problem (or order-of-magnitude estimate, order estimation ), is an estimation problem designed to teach dimensional analysis or approximation of extreme scientific calculations.

6. Economic order quantity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_order_quantity

   Economic order quantity. Economic order quantity ( EOQ ), also known as financial purchase quantity or economic buying quantity, [citation needed] is the order quantity that minimizes the total holding costs and ordering costs in inventory management. It is one of the oldest classical production scheduling models.

The Clay Institute has pledged a US$ 1 million prize for the first correct solution to each problem. The Clay Mathematics Institute officially designated the title Millennium Problem for the seven unsolved ...

8. Cutting stock problem - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cutting_stock_problem

   Cutting stock problem. In operations research, the cutting-stock problem is the problem of cutting standard-sized pieces of stock material, such as paper rolls or sheet metal, into pieces of specified sizes while minimizing material wasted. It is an optimization problem in mathematics that arises from applications in industry.

9. Scale analysis (mathematics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_analysis_(mathematics)

   Scale analysis (mathematics) Scale analysis (or order-of-magnitude analysis) is a powerful tool used in the mathematical sciences for the simplification of equations with many terms. First the approximate magnitude of individual terms in the equations is determined. Then some negligibly small terms may be ignored.
