This paper develops simple approximate methods to analyze a two-stage stochastic distribution system consisting of one warehouse and multiple retailers. We consider local and cent...
Abstract. In this paper, we provide tight estimates for the divisor class number of hyperelliptic function fields. We extend the existing methods to any hyperelliptic function fiel...
— Designing optimal measurement infrastructure is a key step for network management. In this work we address the problem of optimizing a scalable distributed polling system. The ...
Recent scaling up of decentralized partially observable Markov decision process (DEC-POMDP) solvers towards realistic applications is mainly due to approximate methods. Of this fa...
Most cluster systems used in high performance computing do not allow process relocation at run-time. Finding an allocation that results in minimal completion time is NP-hard and (n...
