We describe a simple iterative method for proving a variety of results in combinatorial optimization. It is inspired by Jain’s iterative rounding method (FOCS 1998) for designing...
In the classic multi-armed bandits problem, the goal is to have a policy for dynamically operating arms that each yield stochastic rewards with unknown means. The key metric of int...
In a scan-based system with a large number of flip-flops, a major component of power is consumed during scanshift and clocking operation in test mode. In this paper, a novel scan-...

Temperature Discovery Search (TDS) is a new minimaxbased game tree search method designed to compute or approximate the temperature of a combinatorial game. TDS is based on the co...
We describe several RNC algorithms for generating graphs and subgraphs uniformly at random. For example, unlabelled undirected graphs are generated in O(lg3 n) time using O n2 lg3...
