A tight bound on approximating arbitrary metrics by tree metrics
In this paper, we show that any n point metric space can be embedded into a distribution over dominating tree metrics such that the expected stretch of any edge is O(log n). This ...

Value-Directed Belief State Approximation for POMDPs
We consider the problem belief-state monitoring for the purposes of implementing a policy for a partially-observable Markov decision process (POMDP), specifically how one might ap...

Improved Approximation Algorithms for Maximum Lifetime Problems in Wireless Networks
A wireless ad-hoc network is a collection of transceivers positioned in the plane. Each transceiver is equipped with a limited battery charge. The battery charge is then reduced a...
