arXiv:2506. 18278v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We introduce an original minimax framework for finite-time performance analysis in queueing control and propose a surprisingly simple Lyapunov-based scheduling policy with superior finite-time performance.

arXiv:2607. 27626v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Safety-critical IoT systems such as industrial closed-loop control, V2X coordination, and remote teleoperation require every sensor's peak Age of Information (peak AoI, also abbreviated PAoI) to stay below a hard per-slot deadline, not merely an average bound.

arXiv:2112. 06362v5 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We consider the problem of scheduling in multi-class, parallel-server queuing systems with uncertain rewards from job-server assignments.

arXiv:2608. 16216v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: What is the right delay complexity when a learner can track only $C$ pending feedback items and discarded feedback is permanently lost?

arXiv:2603. 05774v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: This paper addresses the distributed stochastic minimax optimization problem subject to stochastic constraints.

arXiv:2606. 04757v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study decentralized stochastic smooth convex optimization, where $M$ workers minimize an average objective using local stochastic gradients and neighbor-only communication over a fixed gossip network.

arXiv:2606. 09668v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Contextual queueing bandits provide a framework for learning to schedule heterogeneous jobs under unknown context-dependent service rates.

arXiv:2607. 17595v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We establish mean-square and concentration bounds for stochastic approximation (SA) with arbitrary norm contractive mappings, under a multiplicative noise model where the noise may scale affinely with the norm of the iterates, and the iterates are potentially unbounded.

arXiv:2606. 15555v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In large language model (LLM) serving, each request accumulates persistent graphics processing unit (GPU) memory during service as its key-value cache grows with every generated token.

arXiv:2607. 16891v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: A truckload carrier must accept or reject each load tender within seconds.

arXiv:2607. 22982v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Natural Policy Gradient (NPG) is a well-established Reinforcement Learning algorithm that underlies widely used methods such as Trust Region Policy Optimization and Proximal Policy Optimization, both of which have demonstrated strong empirical success.

arXiv:2606. 00835v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Network routers that enforce Quality-of-Service (QoS) guarantees must decide, at every clock cycle, which expiring packet of information to transmit, even when the value of the packet is unknown until it is processed.
