Many statistical physics models are defined on an infinite lattice by taking appropriate limits of finite lattice regions, where a key consideration is how the boundaries are d...
The group testing problem consists of determining a sparse subset of a set of items that are “defective” based on a set of possibly noisy tests, and arises in areas such as me...
A stochastic probing problem consists of a set of elements whose values are independent random variables. The algorithm knows the distributions of these variables, but not the act...
