This research was motivated by design problems in queueing theory where the objective function is composed of a discrete variable and a continuous variable. Sufficient conditions are developed such ...

Ordinary differential equations (ODEs) and difference equations serve as complementary tools in the mathematical modelling of processes evolving in continuous and discrete time respectively. Together ...

Researchers demonstrate a novel method for transforming continuous time crystals into discrete ones using subharmonic injection locking, offering new insights into symmetry breaking and control in ...
