Description
Modeling, Simulation, and Optimization of Supply Chains is an up-to-date introduction to the mathematical theory of supply chains, which focuses on those supply chain networks which are described by partial differential equations. The book discusses modeling of complex supply networks as well as their mathematical theory. In addition, the authors investigate the optimization of some of the discussed models and present the analytical and numerical results on optimization problems. Practical examples demonstrate the applicability of the presented approaches. The book provides an introduction to the topic and also explores the more advanced theoretical and numerical background. Graduate students and researchers, who wish to stay abreast of the latest developments in this field, will be interested in this book; it may be used to teach advanced courses on modeling of physical phenomena as well as introductory courses on supply chain theory.
A concise introduction to the mathematical theory of supply chain networks, focusing on those described by partial differential equations.
About the Author
Ciro d'Apice is professor at the University of Salerno. He received his PhD in 1997 at the University of Naples. His research interests include fluid dynamic models for telecommunication, traffic and supply chain networks, control theory, and queueing models. He is the author of over 80 publications and five books. Simone Goettlich is assistant professor for scientific computing at TU Kaiserslautern. She received her Diploma in business mathematics from TU Darmstadt in 2003 and completed her PhD at TU Kaiserslautern in 2007. Her research interests include the modeling and simulation of transportation networks as well as the interaction of discrete and continuous optimization problems. Michael Herty received his PhD in Mathematics at TU Darmstadt in 2004 and is now professor at RWTH Aachen University. He has authored over 50 research papers and works primarily in the field of applied mathematics, with a focus on modeling, simulation and optimization of transport processes governed by hyperbolic partial differential equations. Recent studies concern problems with the underlying network structures of, for example, traffic flow, gas transportation or supply chains. Benedetto Piccoli is a Research Director at IAC-CNR in Rome. He received his PhD in Mathematics at SISSA-ISAS in Trieste in 1994. He has authored four books and more than 150 research papers. He is the founding editor of Networks and Heterogeneous Media. He won the Fubini prize in 2009. His research interests span various areas of applied mathematics, including traffic flow on networks, pedestrian motions, control theory, mathematical finance and systems biology.
