The Nature Reserve Selection Problem is a problem that arises in the context of studying biodiversity conservation. Subject to budgetary constraints, the problem is to select a set...
We develop new structural results for apex-minor-free graphs and show their power by developing two new approximation algorithms. The first is an additive approximation for colorin...

Abstract— We propose a new approximate algorithm, LAJIV (Lookahead J-MDP Information Value), to solve Oracular Partially Observable Markov Decision Problems (OPOMDPs), a special ...
In this paper we propose a novel approach to decentralised coordination, that is able to efficiently compute solutions with a guaranteed approximation ratio. Our approach is base...
