Quadratic Dynamical Systems (Preliminary Version)
The main purpose of this paper is to promote the study of computational aspects, primarily the convergence rate, of nonlinear dynamical systems from a combinatorial perspective. W...

Predicting reflectance functions from complex surfaces
We describe a physically-based Monte Carlo technique for approximating bidirectional reflectance distribution functions (BRDFs) for a large class of geometries by directly simulat...

A Log-Ratio Information Measure for Stochastic Sensor Management
—In distributed sensor networks, computational and energy resources are in general limited. Therefore, an intelligent selection of sensors for measurements is of great importance...

Generalized Scans and Tri-Diagonal Systems
Motivatedby the analysis of known parallel techniques for the solution of linear tridiagonal system, we introduce generalized scans, a class of recursively de ned lengthpreserving...

Reinforcement learning for DEC-MDPs with changing action sets and partially ordered dependencies
Decentralized Markov decision processes are frequently used to model cooperative multi-agent systems. In this paper, we identify a subclass of general DEC-MDPs that features regul...
