The finite horizon investor problem with a budget constraint
We study a model that incorporates a budget constraint in a decision making problem. Our goal is to maximize the expected wealth, where in each time period we can either stop the ...

An Approximation Scheme for Terrain Guarding
We obtain a polynomial time approximation scheme for the terrain guarding problem improving upon several recent constant factor approximations. Our algorithm is a local search algo...
