In this paper, we discuss the use of Targeted Trajectory Distribution Markov Decision Processes (TTD-MDPs)—a variant of MDPs in which the goal is to realize a specified distrib...

The Cross-Entropy (CE) method is a modern and effective optimization method well suited to parallel implementations. There is a vast array of problems today, some of which are hig...

—Page’s test is optimal for detecting a permanent change in distribution, in the sense that it minimizes the worst case average delay to detection given an average distance bet...

We apply a novel theoretical approach to better understand the behaviour of different types of bare-bones PSOs. It avoids many common but unrealistic assumptions often used in an...
We present randomized and deterministic algorithms for many-to-one routing on an n-node two-dimensional mesh under the store-and-forward model of packet routing. We consider the g...
