A weakness of classical Markov decision processes (MDPs) is that they scale very poorly due to the flat state-space representation. Factored MDPs address this representational pro...
The aim of this paper is to apply the concept of robust optimization introduced by Bel-Tal and Nemirovski to the portfolio selection problems based on multi-stage scenario trees. ...
Instruction scheduling is an important step for improving the performance of object code produced by a compiler. A fundamental problem that arises in instruction scheduling is to ...

In this paper, we present a BPM (Bézier Patch Mapping) algorithm which generates a strictly non-self-overlapping structured quadrilateral grid in a given four-sided planar region...
This work describes a stochastic approach for the optimal placement of sensors in municipal water networks to detect maliciously injected contaminants. The model minimizes the exp...
