The double CFTP method
We consider the problem of the exact simulation of random variables Z that satisfy the distributional identity Z L = V Y + (1 − V )Z, where V ∈ [0, 1] and Y are independent, an...

Coherent Inference on Optimal Play in Game Trees
Round-based games are an instance of discrete planning problems. Some of the best contemporary game tree search algorithms use random roll-outs as data. Relying on a good policy, ...

The overhead of consensus failure recovery
Abstract Many reliable distributed systems are consensusbased and typically operate under two modes: a fast normal mode in failure-free synchronous periods, and a slower recovery m...

Evolutionary Algorithms for Two Problems from the Calculus of Variations
Abstract. A brachistochrone is the path along which a weighted particle falls most quickly from one point to another, and a catenary is the smooth curve connecting two points whose...
