Approximate Solutions for Partially Observable Stochastic Games with Common Payoffs
Partially observable decentralized decision making in robot teams is fundamentally different from decision making in fully observable problems. Team members cannot simply apply si...

Adaptive Importance Sampling Technique for Markov Chains Using Stochastic Approximation
For a discrete-time finite-state Markov chain, we develop an adaptive importance sampling scheme to estimate the expected total cost before hitting a set of terminal states. This s...

Random Debaters and the Hardness of Approximating Stochastic Functions
A probabilistically checkable debate system (PCDS) for a language L consists of a probabilisticpolynomial-time veri er V and a debate between Player 1, who claims that the input x ...

Random sampling of moment graph: a stochastic Krylov-reduction algorithm
In this paper we introduce a new algorithm for model order reduction in the presence of parameter or process variation. Our analysis is performed using a graph interpretation of t...

Approximating the Crossing Number of Graphs Embeddable in Any Orientable Surface
The crossing number of a graph is the least number of pairwise edge crossings in a drawing of the graph in the plane. We provide an O(n log n) time constant factor approximation al...
