Complete analysis of MAP/G/1/N queue with single (multiple) vacation(s) under limited service discipline.
For a given partial solution, the partial inverse problem is to modify the coefficients such that there is a full solution containing the partial solution, while the full solution becomes optimal under new coefficients, and the total modification is minimum. In this paper, we show that the partial inverse assignment problem and the partial inverse minimum cut problem are NP-hard if there are bound constraints on the changes of coefficients.

Single server queues with repeated attempts are useful in the modeling of computer and telecommunication systems. In addition, we consider in this paper the possibility of disasters. When a disaster occurs, all the customers present in the system are destroyed immediately. Using a regenerative approach, we derive a numerically stable recursion scheme for the state probabilities. This model can be employed to analyze the behaviour of a buffer in computers with virus infections.
We consider a system consisting of two not necessarily identical exponential servers having a common Poisson arrival process. Upon arrival, customers inspect the first queue and join it if it is shorter than some threshold n. Otherwise, they join the second queue. This model was dealt with, among others, by Altman et al. [Stochastic Models20 (2004) 149–172]. We first derive an explicit expression for the Laplace-Stieltjes transform of the distribution underlying the arrival (renewal) process to...

A vector is said to be an eigenvector of a square max-min matrix if . An eigenvector of is called the greatest -eigenvector of if and for each eigenvector . A max-min matrix is called strongly -robust if the orbit reaches the greatest -eigenvector with any starting vector of . We suggest an algorithm for computing the greatest -eigenvector of and study the strong -robustness. The necessary and sufficient conditions for strong -robustness are introduced and an efficient...
Ce travail porte sur l'optimisation des lignes d'usinage pour la grande série. Une telle ligne comporte plusieurs postes de travail, chacun étant équipé avec boîtiers multibroches. Un boîtier multibroche exécute plusieurs opérations en parallèle. Lors de la conception en avant-projet, il est nécessaire d'affecter toutes les opérations à des boîtiers et des postes de travail de sorte à minimiser le nombre de postes et de boîtiers utilisés. Pour ce nouveau problème d'équilibrage des lignes de production,...
This paper considers a distributed state estimation problem for multi-agent systems under state inequality constraints. We first give a distributed estimation algorithm by projecting the consensus estimate with help of the consensus-based Kalman filter (CKF) and projection on the surface of constraints. The consensus step performs not only on the state estimation but also on the error covariance obtained by each agent. Under collective observability and connective assumptions, we show that consensus...
We present a hybrid approach for the Frequency Assignment Problem with Polarization. This problem, viewed as Max-CSP, is treated as a sequence of decision problems, CSP like. The proposed approach combines the Arc-Consistency techniques with a performed Tabu Search heuristic. The resulting algorithm gives some high quality solutions and has proved its robustness on instances with approximately a thousand variables and nearly ten thousand constraints.
