Motivated by applications in batch scheduling of jobs in manufacturing systems and distributed computing, we study two related problems. Given is a set of jobs {J1, . . . , Jn}, w...
In this paper, we formulate the problem of characterizing the stability of a piecewise affine (PWA) system as a verification problem. The basic idea is to take the whole Rn as the ...
