The min-SHIFT DESIGN problem (MSD) is an important scheduling problem that needs to be solved in many industrial contexts. The issue is to find a minimum number of shifts and the...
Revisiting the “small-world” experiments of the ’60s, Kleinberg observed that individuals are very effective at constructing short chains of acquaintances between any two p...
We begin by observing that (discrete-time) QuasiBirth-Death Processes (QBDs) are equivalent, in a precise sense, to (discrete-time) probabilistic 1-Counter Automata (p1CAs), and b...
In this paper, we study an online make-to-order variant of the classical joint replenishment problem (JRP) that has been studied extensively over the years and plays a fundamental...
