The Vehicle Routing Problem can be seen as a fusion of two well known combinatorial problems, the Travelling Salesman Problem and Bin Packing Problem. It has several variants, the...
This paper considers the problem of designing a controller for an unknown plant based on input/output measurements. The new design method we propose is direct (no model identificat...
There has been a lot of recent work on Bayesian methods for reinforcement learning exhibiting near-optimal online performance. The main obstacle facing such methods is that in most...
We present a method for decomposing a hypergraph with certain regularities into smaller hypergraphs. By applying this to the set of all canonical covers of a given set of functiona...
In this paper an island model is described for the unconstrained Binary Quadratic Problem (BQP), which can be used with up to 2500 binary variables. Our island model uses a master...
