In this paper we use policy-iteration to explore the behaviour of optimal control policies for lost sales inventory models with the constraint that not more than one replenishment...
In POPL 2002, Petrank and Rawitz showed a universal result-finding optimal data placement is not only NP-hard but also impossible to approximate within a constant factor if P = NP...
An optimal stochastic control problem is considered for systems with unbounded controls satisfying an integral constraint. It is shown that there exists an optimal control within t...
Digital microfluidic biochips have emerged as a popular alternative for laboratory experiments. To make the biochip feasible for practical applications, pin-count reduction is a k...
—Secret sharing and erasure coding-based approaches have been used in distributed storage systems to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of critical informati...
