Speed Scaling Functions for Flow Time Scheduling Based on Active Job Count
Abstract. We study online scheduling to minimize flow time plus energy usage in the dynamic speed scaling model. We devise new speed scaling functions that depend on the number of ...

Hierarchically Optimal Average Reward Reinforcement Learning
Two notions of optimality have been explored in previous work on hierarchical reinforcement learning (HRL): hierarchical optimality, or the optimal policy in the space defined by ...

On the compression of two-dimensional piecewise smooth functions
It is well known that wavelets provide good non-linear approximation of one-dimensional (1-D) piecewise smooth functions. However, it has been shown that the use of a basis with g...

Estimating the Distance to a Monotone Function
In standard property testing, the task is to distinguish between objects that have a property P and those that are ε-far from P, for some ε > 0. In this setting, it is perfec...
