We study the convergence of Markov Decision Processes made of a large number of objects to optimization problems on ordinary differential equations (ODE). We show that the optimal...
We study two different lot-sizing problems with time windows that have been proposed recently. For the case of production time windows, in which each client specific order must be ...
Abstract. We present a new analysis of the well-known family of multiplicative hash functions, and improved deterministic algorithms for selecting "good" hash functions. ...
In this paper, timed Petri nets are used to model and control hybrid systems. Petri nets are used instead of finite automata primarily because of the advantages they offer in de...

This paper addresses the problem of achieving exact dynamic force control with manipulators possessing the low-level position and/or velocity controllers typically employed in indu...
