The undecidability of basic decision problems for general FIFO machines such as reachability and unboundedness is well-known. In this paper, we provide an underapproximation for the general model by considering only runs that are…
When the agent's observations or interactions are delayed, classic reinforcement learning tools usually fail. In this paper, we propose a simple yet new and efficient solution to this problem. We assume that, in the undelayed environment,…
Unpredictable sensor-to-estimator delays fundamentally distort what matters for wireless remote state estimation: not just freshness, but how delay interacts with sensor informativeness and energy efficiency. In this paper, we present a…
This paper deals with partially-observed optimal control problems for the state governed by stochastic differential equation with delay. We develop a stochastic maximum principle for this kind of optimal control problems using a variational…
We consider a class of stochastic control problems with a delayed control, both in drift and diffusion, of the type dX t = $\alpha$ t--d (bdt + $\sigma$dW t). We provide a new characterization of the solution in terms of a set of Riccati…
We study the delay (also known as depth) of circuits that simulate finite automata, showing that only certain growth rates (as a function of the number $n$ of steps simulated) are possible. A classic result due to Ofman (rediscovered and…

Time delays pose an important challenge in networked control systems, which are now ubiquitous. Focusing on switched systems, we introduce a framework that provides an upper bound for errors caused by switching delays. Our framework is…
This paper presents a heavy traffic analysis of the behavior of multi-class acyclic queueing networks in which the customers have deadlines. We assume the queueing system consists of J stations, and there are K different customer classes.…
FIFO queues are a fundamental data structure used in a wide range of applications. Concurrent FIFO queues allow multiple execution threads to access the queue simultaneously. Maintaining strict FIFO semantics in concurrent queues leads to…
A multi-class single-server system with general service time distributions is studied in a moderate deviation heavy traffic regime. In the scaling limit, an optimal control problem associated with the model is shown to be governed by a…
The degrees of freedom (DoF) of the $K$-user multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) interference channel are studied when perfect, but delayed channel state information is available at the transmitter side (delayed CSIT). Recent works have…
Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD) is widely used in machine learning problems to efficiently perform empirical risk minimization, yet, in practice, SGD is known to stall before reaching the actual minimizer of the empirical risk. SGD…
We study the workload processes of two restricted M/G/1 queueing systems: in Model 1 any service requirement that would exceed a certain capacity threshold is truncated; in Model 2 new arrivals do not enter the system if they have to wait…
The maximum traffic arrival rate at the network for a given delay guarantee (delay constrained throughput) has been well studied for wired channels. However, few results are available for wireless channels, especially when multiple antennas…

Distributed Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD) when run in a synchronous manner, suffers from delays in waiting for the slowest learners (stragglers). Asynchronous methods can alleviate stragglers, but cause gradient staleness that can…
