Monotonicity property of t-step maintainable structures in three-grade manpower systems: a counterexample
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 July 2016
Abstract
In this paper the t-step maintainable regions Mt are examined in a three-graded system under the following conditions: the total size of the system remains constant during each intermediate step, demotions do not occur and recruitment control is considered.
A counterexample, showing that the monotonicity property Mt ⊆ Mt+1 does not exist in general, refutes the conjecture of Davies [3].
