Information Theory of Blockchain Systems
Quan-Lin Li, Yaqian Ma, Jing-Yu Ma +1
In this paper, we apply the information theory to provide an approximate expression of the steady-state probability distribution for blockchain systems. We achieve this goal by max…
Sensitivity-Based Optimization for Blockchain Selfish Mining
Jing-Yu Ma, Quan-Lin Li
In this paper, we provide a novel dynamic decision method of blockchain selfish mining by applying the sensitivity-based optimization theory. Our aim is to find the optimal dynamic…
An Overview for Markov Decision Processes in Queues and Networks
Quan-Lin Li, Jing-Yu Ma, Rui-Na Fan +1
Markov decision processes (MDPs) in queues and networks have been an interesting topic in many practical areas since the 1960s. This paper provides a detailed overview on this topi…
A Complete Algebraic Solution to the Optimal Dynamic Rationing Policy in the Stock-Rationing Queue with Two Demand Classes
Quan-Lin Li, Yi-Meng Li, Jing-Yu Ma +1
In this paper, we study a stock-rationing queue with two demand classes by means of the sensitivity-based optimization, and develop a complete algebraic solution to the optimal dyn…
Markov Processes in Blockchain Systems
