Let s be the ratio of the cost for purchasing skis over the cost for renting them. Then the famous result for the ski-rental problem shows that skiers should buy their skis after r...
—This paper derives the optimal search time and the optimal search cost that can be achieved in unstructured peer-topeer networks when the demand pattern exhibits clustering (i.e...
Recently, a wide range of applications like hurricane research, fire management, navigation systems, and transportation, to name only a few, has shown increasing interest in mana...
