In this paper the call admission control (CAC) and routing control (RC) problems for loss network systems are studied as optimal stochastic control (OSC) pr...

We consider stochastic dynamic games in large population conditions where multiclass agents are weakly coupled via their individual dynamics and costs. We a...
