Several researchers have recently investigated the connection between reinforcement learning and classification. We are motivated by proposals of approximate policy iteration schem...
Abstract. We consider the self-deployment problem in a ring for a network of identical sensors: starting from some initial random placement in the ring, the sensors in the network ...

We present an asymptotic fully polynomial time approximation scheme for two-dimensional strip packing with rotations. In this problem, a set of rectangles need to be packed into a...
We consider the problems of set partitioning into k clusters with minimum total cost and minimum of the maximum cost of a cluster. The cost function is given by an oracle, and we ...
In this paper, we show that for several clustering problems one can extract a small set of points, so that using those core-sets enable us to perform approximate clustering effici...
