Approximation Algorithms for Reliable Stochastic Combinatorial Optimization
We consider optimization problems that can be formulated as minimizing the cost of a feasible solution wT x over an arbitrary combinatorial feasible set F {0, 1}n . For these pro...

Amsaa: A Multistep Anticipatory Algorithm for Online Stochastic Combinatorial Optimization
The one-step anticipatory algorithm (1s-AA) is an online algorithm making decisions under uncertainty by ignoring future non-anticipativity constraints. It makes near-optimal decis...

Hedging Uncertainty: Approximation Algorithms for Stochastic Optimization Problems
Abstract. We study two-stage, finite-scenario stochastic versions of several combinatorial optimization problems, and provide nearly tight approximation algorithms for them. Our pr...

Boosted sampling: approximation algorithms for stochastic optimization
Several combinatorial optimization problems choose elements to minimize the total cost of constructing a feasible solution that satisfies requirements of clients. In the STEINER T...

Ant Colony Optimization and Stochastic Gradient Descent
In this paper, we study the relationship between the two techniques known as ant colony optimization (aco) and stochastic gradient descent. More precisely, we show that some empir...
