Multi-agent planning in stochastic environments can be framed formally as a decentralized Markov decision problem. Many real-life distributed problems that arise in manufacturing,...
Abstract. In this paper we present a randomized constant factor approximation algorithm for the problem of computing the optimal cost of the metric Minimum Facility Location proble...

A graph is near-planar if it can be obtained from a planar graph by adding an edge. We show that it is NP-hard to compute the crossing number of near-planar graphs. The main idea ...
In this paper, a dynamic subcarrier and power allocation problem is considered in the context of asymptotic utility maximization in multi-carrier systems. Using the gradient-based...
We propose a very efficient numerical algorithm for minimizing certain curvature dependent functionals that appear in a variety of well known variational models of image processin...
