Global Versus Local Constructive Function Approximation for On-Line Reinforcement Learning
: In order to scale to problems with large or continuous state-spaces, reinforcement learning algorithms need to be combined with function approximation techniques. The majority of...

A Threshold of ln n for Approximating Set Cover
Given a collection Ᏺ of subsets of S ϭ {1, . . . , n}, set cover is the problem of selecting as few as possible subsets from Ᏺ such that their union covers S, and max k-cover ...

Approximation schemes for multidimensional packing
We consider a classic multidimensional generalization of the bin packing problem, namely, packing d-dimensional rectangles into the minimum number of unit cubes. Our two results a...
