Abstract
We consider an inventory model of diffusion type for a single item, based on a so-called (s, r, S) policy, which is a refinement of the classical (s, S) policy. The content level process W = {W(t):t ≥ 0} behaves like a reflected Brownian motion with negative drift between jumps, at which replenishments are supplied which take the current content up to some prespecified level S. The process W starts at W(0) = S but is not bounded from above; the inventory is supposed to have infinite capacity. Whenever the content level drops to level s an order is placed to take the inventory back to level S, which the supplier will carry out after some random leadtime. However, if during a leadtime W reaches again a certain prespecified level r ∊ (s, S) (due to its intrinsic fluctuations), the order is cancelled and a penalty is paid. To assess the performance of this inventory system, one needs to compute several expected total discounted cost functionals of W : set-up cost (composed of the cost of actual replenishments and those of cancellations), variable delivery cost, holding cost, penalties on lost demands. All these functionals are derived in closed form as functions of the system primitives and in particular of the decision variables S, r and s. We also give some examples of numerical optimizations based on these results.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
