Path Hitting in Acyclic Graphs
An instance of the path hitting problem consists of two families of paths, D and H, in a common undirected graph, where each path in H is associated with a non-negative cost. We r...

Online convex optimization in the bandit setting: gradient descent without a gradient
We study a general online convex optimization problem. We have a convex set S and an unknown sequence of cost functions c1, c2, . . . , and in each period, we choose a feasible po...

Random knapsack in expected polynomial time
In this paper, we present the first average-case analysis proving an expected polynomial running time for an exact algorithm for the 0/1 knapsack problem. In particular, we prove,...
