We propose and study a new information transmission problem motivated by today’s internet. A real number, perhaps representing control information in a network, is encoded using...
There has been considerable recent work developing a new stochastic network utility maximization framework using Backpressure algorithms, also known as MaxWeight. A key open probl...

We study optimal control problems for general unstructured nonlinear differential-algebraic equations of arbitrary index. In particular, we derive necessary conditions in the case ...
Abstract. We present a first constant performance guarantee for preemptive stochastic scheduling to minimize the sum of weighted completion times. For scheduling jobs with release ...
Abstract We present an optimal timing control formulation for the problem of controlling autonomous puppets. In particular, by appropriately timing the different movements, entire ...
