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. 410 0$aLecture Notes in Mathematics,$x0075-8434 ;$v1829 606 $aProbabilities 606 $aSystem theory 606 $aCombinatorial analysis 606 $aCalculus of variations 606 $aProbability Theory and Stochastic Processes$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M27004 606 $aSystems Theory, Control$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M13070 606 $aCombinatorics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M29010 606 $aCalculus of Variations and Optimal Control; Optimization$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M26016 615 0$aProbabilities. 615 0$aSystem theory. 615 0$aCombinatorial analysis. 615 0$aCalculus of variations. 615 14$aProbability Theory and Stochastic Processes. 615 24$aSystems Theory, Control. 615 24$aCombinatorics. 615 24$aCalculus of Variations and Optimal Control; Optimization. 676 $a510 s 676 $a003/.5 700 $aAltman$b Eitan$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0150733 702 $aGaujal$b Bruno$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aHordijk$b Arie$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910144620103321 996 $aDiscrete-Event Control of Stochastic Networks: Multimodularity and Regularity$92517681 997 $aUNINA
