Appointment-driven queueing systems with non-punctual customers

Queueing Systems - We consider a single-server queueing system where a finite number of customers arrive over time to receive service. Arrivals are driven by appointments, with a scheduled...     

q-polymatroids and their relation to rank-metric codes

Journal of Algebraic Combinatorics - It is well known that linear rank-metric codes give rise to q-polymatroids. Analogously to matroid theory, one may ask whether a given q-polymatroid is...     

The finite sample properties of sparse M-estimators with pseudo-observations

Annals of the Institute of Statistical Mathematics - We provide finite sample properties of general regularized statistical criteria in the presence of pseudo-observations. Under the restricted...     

The critical probability for Voronoi percolation in the hyperbolic plane tends to 1/2

We consider percolation on the Voronoi tessellation generated by a homogeneous Poisson point process on the hyperbolic plane. We show that the critical probability for the existence of an infinite cluster tends to 1/2 as the intensity of the Poisson process tends to infinity. This confirms a conjecture of Benjamini and Schramm [5].
