We evaluate the architectural support of collective communication operations on the IBM SP2, Cray T3D, and Intel Paragon. The MPI performance data are obtained from the STAP benchmark experiments jointly performed at the USC and HKU. The T3D demonstrated clearly the best timing performance in...

In this paper, a novel message-passing algorithm, named AMP-R, based on belief propagation is proposed to solve the heterogeneous multi-depot vehicle routing problem (HMDVRP) in a distributed manner. Unlike traditional approaches, this is the first attempt to decentralize the solution process...

We consider a sensor scheduling model where a set of identical sensors are used to hunt a larger set of heterogeneous targets, each of which is located at a corresponding site. Target states change randomly over discrete time slots between “exposed” and ‘hidden,” according to Markovian...

В статье разработана экономико-экологическая модель оптимального управления системой обращения с твердыми отходами на региональном уровне, определены ее...

В работе рассматривается непрерывный вариант игры НИМ, в которой два игрока по очереди зачерпывают воду из какой-то емкости. Выигрывает игрок, сделавший это...

The article develops an economic and ecological model of optimal management of the system of solid waste disposal at the regional level, identifies its target functions and forms optimisation scenarios of management of this sphere with theoretically optimal parameters' values. Based on the model...

We discuss how trade-in rebates can be used to manage product multigenerational innovation diffusion waves, and study the optimal behavior of the firm controlling the prices and rebates associated to product upgrades. We show how this strategy accelerates the diffusion and can lead to profit...

We show that the value of a zero-sum Bayesian game is a Lipschitz continuous function of the players' common prior belief, with respect to the total variation metric (that induces the topology of setwise convergence on beliefs). This is unlike the case of general Bayesian games, where lower...

In this paper the dynamic programming approach is exploited in order to identify the closed loop policy function, and the consumption smoothing mechanisms in an endogenous growth model with time to build, linear technology and irreversibility constraint in investment. Moreover the link among the...

The aim of this work is to show how automated traders can operate a futures market. First, we established some hypothesises on the properties of the ’correct’ price pattern which translates accurately the underlying moves in the supply/demand balance and the nominal price, then mathematical...
