degeneracy, assignment problem – formulation – optimal solution - variants of assignment problem- traveling
salesman problem.

SEQUENCING – Introduction – flow –shop sequencing – n jobs through two machines – n jobs through three
machines – job shop sequencing – two jobs through ‘m’ machines.

UNIT – III

counted and counted – replacement of items that fail completely, group replacement.

UNIT – IV

THEORY OF GAMES: Introduction – mini. max (max. mini) – criterion and optimal strategy – solution of
games with saddle points – rectangular games without saddle points – 2 x 2 games – dominance principle – m x 2

WAITING LINES: Introduction – single channel – poison arrivals – exponential service times – with infinite
population and finite population models– multichannel – poison arrivals – exponential service times with infinite
population single channel poison arrivals.
