摘要：A parameter adaptive decision process is a sequential decision process -here some parameter or parameter set impacting the rewards and/or transitions of the process is not known with certainty. Signals from the performance of the system can be processed by the decision maker as time progresses, yielding information regarding which parameter set is operative. Active learning is an essential feature of these processes, and the decision maker must choose actions that simultaneously guide the syst...

摘要：For the GI/G/1 queue with finite capacity we derive the time-dependent distributions of the number of customers in the system and of the duration of a busy period and a busy cycle under an arbitrary initial condition at time zero.

摘要：In some flexible manufacturing systems, tool magazine capacity naturally divides parts into families so that substantial setups occur only when switching production between families. For this situation (positive setup times and costs only between families), we show that the production planning problem decomposes into two simpler problems: an aggregate scheduling problem, and a disaggregation. First, we derive a disaggreption that determines the optimal intrafamily product schedules correspondi...
