We consider several classical models in deterministic inventory theory: the single-item lot-sizing problem, the joint replenishment problem, and the multistage assembly problem. These inventory models ...

We study a wide range of online covering and packing optimization problems. In an online covering problem, a linear cost function is known in advance, but the linear constraints that define the ...

Since the very first days of computer science — a field known for its methodical approach to problem-solving — randomness has played an important role. The first program to run on the world’s first ...

Prime numbers are tricky things. We learn in school that they’re numbers with no factors other than 1 and themselves, and that mathematicians have known for thousands of years that an infinite number ...

High-computing-efficiency WAN: The flow awareness engine identifies 99% of elephant flows, and intelligent scheduling boosts ...

Cryptographic algorithms lie at the heart of modern information security, and substitution box (S‐box) design is a critical component in achieving robust encryption. S‐boxes provide the nonlinearity ...
