In many practical distributed source coding (DSC) applications, correlation information has to be estimated at the encoder in order to determine the encoding rate. Coding efficien...
In this paper we consider the problem of scheduling n jobs on a single machine, where the jobs are processed in batches and the processing time of each job is a step function depe...

The method of stochastic state classes approaches the analysis of Generalised Semi Markov Processes (GSMP) through symbolic derivation of probability density functions over Differe...
Many revenue management (RM) industries are characterized by (a) fixed capacities in the short term (e.g., hotel rooms, seats on an airline flight), (b) homogeneous products (e....
—Given n discrete random variables = fX1;111; Xng, associated with any subset of f1; 2; 111; ng, there is a joint entropy H(X) where X = fXi:i 2 g. This can be viewed as a f...
