This paper is devoted to basic scheduling problems in which the scheduling cost of a job is not a function of its completion time. Instead, the cost is derived from the integratio...
We study Galton-Watson branching processes conditioned on the total progeny to be n which are scaled by a sequence cn tending to infinity as o( √ n). It is shown that this proce...
We consider the setting of a multiprocessor where the speeds of the m processors can be individually scaled. Jobs arrive over time and have varying degrees of parallelizability. A...
Markov decision processes (MDPs) with discrete and continuous state and action components can be solved efficiently by hybrid approximate linear programming (HALP). The main idea ...
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...
