Abstract. There has been important progress in constructing units and Sunits associated to curves of genus 2 or 3. These approaches are based mainly on the consideration of propert...
A new spectral approach to value function approximation has recently been proposed to automatically construct basis functions from samples. Global basis functions called proto-val...
We study a sequential variance reduction technique for Monte Carlo estimation of functionals in Markov Chains. The method is based on designing sequential control variates using s...
Abstract. In this chapter, we present a new interactive procedure for multiobjective optimization, which is based on the use of a set of value functions as a preference model built...
Harmonization with four voices is a musical problem which is subject to hard constraints, which absolutely need to be fulfilled, as well as to soft constraints, which preferably ho...
