The concept of priority indices defined to discuss the Restless Bandit Problem (RBP) furnish a relevant approximative framework to approach the optimal scheduling of a multi-products make-to-stock production when no setup cost and/or time are incurred. The ...
Leasing is a very effective way to improve the performance of distributed algorithms without hampering their fault-tolerance. The notion of lease has traditionally been defined using a global notion of time and was hence strongly tied to synchronous system ...
Tokamaks with large pressure gradients (alpha(max)) formed in regions of weak magnetic shear are shown to be susceptible to novel, low-n, global, kinetic, electromagnetic modes with a toroidal mode number n in the range 2
In this paper we analyse the optimal infinite-horizon advertising policy of a monopolist firm in a market for durable goods, based on classic models by Vidale–Wolfe (Oper. Res. 1957; 5(3):370–381) and Nerlove–Arrow (Economica 1962; 29 (114):129–142). A set ...

In this paper, we propose an adaptive risk-based replanning strategy in the context of multi-robot task allocation for dealing with limitations of local perception and unpredicted human behavior. Our replanning method is based on the variations of social r ...
