Sander Borst, Daniel Dadush, Neil Olver +1
The theory of majorizing measures, extensively developed by Fernique, Talagrand and many others, provides one of the most general frameworks for controlling the behavior of stochas…
Performance of the smallest-variance-first rule in appointment sequencing
Madelon A. de Kemp, Michel Mandjes, Neil Olver
A classical problem in appointment scheduling, with applications in health care, concerns the determination of the patients' arrival times that minimize a cost function that is a w…
Explosion and linear transit times in infinite trees
Omid Amini, Luc Devroye, Simon Griffiths +1
Let be an infinite rooted tree with weights assigned to its edges. Denote by the minimum weight of a path from the root to a node of the th generation. We con…
On explosions in heavy-tailed branching random walks
Omid Amini, Luc Devroye, Simon Griffiths +1
Consider a branching random walk on , with offspring distribution Z and nonnegative displacement distribution W. We say that explosion occurs if an infinite number of p…
