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/autMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK996466489203316Discrete-Event Control of Stochastic Networks: Multimodularity and Regularity2517681UNISA02370nam 2200409Ka 450 991015759640332120240912110042.51-60183-797-6(CKB)3710000001001611(VLeBooks)9781601837974(ODN)ODN0002875726(EXLCZ)99371000000100161120160817d2017 uy 1engurcn|---|||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierDriven to distraction /Olivia Dade20171 online resourceLovestruck LibrariansIF THE BOOKMOBILE'S ROCKING . . . Constance Chen is not the demure kind of librarian. Sure, her high-horsepower ride is Big Bertha the Bookmobile, but Con swears a blue streak, does her own home improvement, and wears steel-toed boots. She has a tight circle of friends, a demanding, beloved sprawl of a Chinese-American family, and a strict hookups-only policy when it comes to men. Her life is just how she wants it. Except for one maddeningly sexy footnote. Sam Wolcott, her friend's baby brother and the library's IT star, has been throwing sparks with Con since he moved to town. To everybody else, he's a thoughtful, sensitive sweetheart. To Con, he's a cantankerous pedant, because if they don't fight nonstop their clothes will spontaneously combust. Sam needs a commitment Con won't—can't—give. And neither of them will chance their hard-won bonds for pure lust. Too bad Con and Sam have a whole week in a very tiny, very private space to sustain their dumb arguments. Alone. What happens in the Bookmobile might take their resistance right out of circulation . . .
