Multi‐Agent Reinforcement Learning for Joint Police Patrol and Dispatch
Naval Research Logistics (NRL), EarlyView.ABSTRACT Police patrol units need to split their time between performing preventive patrol and being dispatched to serve emergency incidents. In the existing literature, patrol and dispatch decisions are often studied separately. We consider joint optimization of these two decisions to improve police operations efficiency and reduce response time to ...

Improving Affordability and Accessibility for Socially‐Beneficial Services via Government Incentives
Naval Research Logistics (NRL), EarlyView.ABSTRACT Many socially‐beneficial services, like dental care, suffer from a dual challenge: Low affordability for citizens and long waiting times due to insufficient provider capacity. We model a government's problem of designing subsidy policies to address this issue.

Flow-level convergence and insensitivity for multi-class queueing networks
Stochastic Systems, 2012 We consider a multi-class queueing network as a model of packet transfer in a communication network. We define a second stochastic model as a model of document transfer in a communication network where the documents transferred have a general ...

Functional analysis method for the M/G/1 queueing model with single working vacation
Open Mathematics, 2018 In this paper, we study the asymptotic property of underlying operator corresponding to the M/G/1 queueing model with single working vacation, where both service times in a regular busy period and in a working vacation period are function. We obtain that

On the choice of an auxiliary function in the M/G/∞ estimation. [PDF]
, 2007 The use of auxiliary functions in nonparametric inference for the M/G/∞ queueing model is considered. Estimation of the service time distribution G is challenging when only limited information about the busy/idle cycle is available.

Information Design for Early‐Stage Dose‐Finding Trials
Naval Research Logistics (NRL), EarlyView.ABSTRACT To enhance enrollment rates in early‐stage dose‐finding clinical trials, we propose an information design approach, where the clinical investigator (CI) commits to an information releasing mechanism (IRM) based on the treatment's uncertain efficacy and toxicity to encourage patients to participate in the trial.

Optimizing Household Waste Recycling Centre Network Reorganization in Hampshire
Networks, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Local councils across the UK are facing sustained financial pressures, and Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRCs) are being increasingly considered for closure to reduce expenditure. In 2024, Hampshire County Council, which operates the largest HWRC network in the UK, proposed closing either five or twelve existing sites.

The Annals of Mathematical Statistics, 1960 In a priority queue different types of items (individuals or elements) arrive at a service mechanism and each item has a relative priority for order of service. Let there be $K$ classes of items, $1, 2, \cdots, K$. If the service mechanism is to select an item for service, a type $i$ item will be selected in preference to a type $j$ item for $i < j ...
