Large deviations bounds for estimating conditional value-at-risk
In this paper, we prove an exponential rate of convergence result for a common estimator of conditional value-at-risk for bounded random variables. The bound on optimistic deviati...

A note on scenario reduction for two-stage stochastic programs
We extend earlier work on scenario reduction by relying directly on Fortet–Mourier metrics instead of using upper bounds given in terms of mass transportation problems. The impo...

Explicit formulas for the variance of conditioned sojourn times in M/D/1-PS
For the M/D/1 processor sharing queue, explicit formulas for the coefficient of variation of the sojourn time conditioned on the service time and on the residual service times of ...

A simpler and better derandomization of an approximation algorithm for single source rent-or-buy
We present a very simple way of derandomizing the algorithm proposed by Gupta, Kumar and Roughgarden for Single Source Rent-or-Buy by using the method of conditional expectation. ...

The path partition problem and related problems in bipartite graphs
We prove that it is NP-complete to decide whether a bipartite graph of maximum degree three on nk vertices can be partitioned into n paths of length k. Finally, we propose some ap...
