Discrete spacetime and its applications
arXiv:gr-qc/0702140
Abstract
We survey some results about the asymptotic behavior of discrete spacetime models, which appeared in diverse settings in the physics and math literature. We then discuss some recent applications, including scheduling in disk drives and analysis of airplane boarding strategies.
