Knowledge (remember and understand)

  • Characterize the (max,+) algebra as a set: what are its elements?
  • Define the two key operations of (max,+) algebra. Do it both for scalars and for matrices.
  • Write down a general (max,+) linear (also MPL) discrete-event system.

Skills (use the knowledge to solve a problem)

  • Formulate a simple queueing problem as an optimal control problem for an MPL system.
  • Solve a simple optimal control problem for an MPL system.
