The motivation stems from applications in discrete-time control and optimization problems, manufacturing and production planning, stochastic networks, and communication systems, in which finite-state ...

When selecting the appropriate power switches for motor control applications designers are tasked with balancing performance requirements and total system costs.

In this paper we introduce discrete-time semi-Markov random evolutions (DTSMREs) and study asymptotic properties, namely, averaging, diffusion approximation, and diffusion approximation with ...
