This is a counterpart of convex optimization in the setting of discrete optimization. The theory developed is applied to the control of stochastic discrete-event dynamic systems. Some applications are admission, routing, service allocation and vacation control in queueing networks. Pure and applied mathematicians will enjoy reading the book since it brings together many disciplines in mathematics: combinatorics, stochastic processes, stochastic control and optimization, discrete event dynamic systems, algebra.Lecture Notes in Mathematics,0075-8434 ;1829ProbabilitiesSystem theoryCombinatoricsCalculus of variationsProbability Theory and Stochastic Processeshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M27004Systems Theory, Controlhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M13070Combinatoricshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M29010Calculus of Variations and Optimal Control; Optimizationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M26016Probabilities.System theory.Combinatorics.Calculus of variations.Probability Theory and Stochastic Processes.Systems Theory, Control.Combinatorics.Calculus of Variations and Optimal Control; Optimization.510 s003/.5Altman Eitanauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut150733Gaujal Brunoauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autHordijk Arieauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910144620103321Discrete-Event Control of Stochastic Networks: Multimodularity and Regularity2517681UNINA
