An Improved Grid-Based Approximation Algorithm for POMDPs
Although a partially observable Markov decision process (POMDP) provides an appealing model for problems of planning under uncertainty, exact algorithms for POMDPs are intractable...

The Multi-radius Cover Problem
An instance of the multi-radius cover problem consists of a graph G = (V, E) with edge lengths l : E → R+ . Each vertex u ∈ V represents a transmission station for which a tra...

Approximation Algorithms for Partial-Information Based Stochastic Control with Markovian Rewards
We consider a variant of the classic multi-armed bandit problem (MAB), which we call FEEDBACK MAB, where the reward obtained by playing each of n independent arms varies according...

Algorithms for two-box covering
We study the problem of covering a set of points or polyhedra in 3 with two axis-aligned boxes in order to minimize a function of the measures of the two boxes, such as the sum or...

The importance of being biased
The Minimum Vertex Cover problem is the problem of, given a graph, finding a smallest set of vertices that touches all edges. We show that it is NP-hard to approximate this proble...
