A Pumping Algorithm for Ergodic Stochastic Mean Payoff Games with Perfect Information
Abstract. We consider two-person zero-sum stochastic mean payoff games with perfect information, or BWR-games, given by a digraph G = (V = VB VW VR, E), with local rewards r : E R...

Non-Clairvoyant Scheduling for Minimizing Mean Slowdown
We consider the problem of scheduling dynamically arriving jobs in a non-clairvoyant setting, that is, when the size of a job in remains unknown until the job finishes execution. ...

Eliminating graphs by means of parallel knock-out schemes
In 1997 Lampert and Slater introduced parallel knock-out schemes, an iterative process on graphs that goes through several rounds. In each round of this process, every vertex elim...
