VDCBPI: an Approximate Scalable Algorithm for Large POMDPs
Existing algorithms for discrete partially observable Markov decision processes can at best solve problems of a few thousand states due to two important sources of intractability:...

A Practical Approximation Algorithm for the LMS Line Estimator
The problem of fitting a straight line to a finite collection of points in the plane is an important problem in statistical estimation. Robust estimators are widely used because...

The Embroidery Problem
We consider the problem of embroidering a design pattern, given by a graph G, using a single minimum length thread. We give an exact polynomial-time algorithm for the case that G ...

On Sorting Permutations by Double-Cut-and-Joins
The problem of sorting permutations by double-cut-and-joins (SBD) arises when we perform the double-cut-and-join (DCJ) operations on pairs of unichromosomal genomes without the gen...
