Our paper concerns optimal combinations of different types of reinsurance contracts. We introduce a novel approach based on the Mean-Variance-Criterion to solve this task. Two sta...

This paper presents a method for the optimal state assignment of asynchronous state machines. Unlike state assignment for synchronous state machines, state codes must be chosen ca...
Abstract. We present algorithms for sorting and routing on two-dimensional mesh-connected parallel architectures that are optimal on average. If one processor has many packets then...

DIRECT (DIviding RECTangles) is a deterministic global optimization algorithm for bound-constrained problems. The algorithm, based on a space-partitioning scheme, performs both gl...
We consider discrete stochastic optimization problems where the objective function can only be estimated by a simulation oracle; the oracle is defined only at the discrete points....
