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...

LP Rounding Approximation Algorithms for Stochastic Network Design
Real-world networks often need to be designed under uncertainty, with only partial information and predictions of demand available at the outset of the design process. The field ...

Approximation algorithms for stochastic orienteering
In the Stochastic Orienteering problem, we are given a metric, where each node also has a job located there with some deterministic reward and a random size. (Think of the jobs as...

An Incremental Sampling-based Algorithm for Stochastic Optimal Control
Abstract— In this paper, we consider a class of continuoustime, continuous-space stochastic optimal control problems. Building upon recent advances in Markov chain approximation ...

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...
