Searching for liveness property violations in concurrent systems with ACO
Liveness properties in concurrent systems are, informally, those properties that stipulate that something good eventually happens during execution. In order to prove that a given ...

Analysis of Block Parareal Preconditioners for Parabolic Optimal Control Problems
In this paper, we describe block matrix algorithms for the iterative solution of large scale linear-quadratic optimal control problems arising from the optimal control of parabolic...

Optimality of affine policies in multi-stage robust optimization
In this paper, we show the optimality of a certain class of disturbance-affine control policies in the context of one-dimensional, constrained, multi-stage robust optimization. Ou...

Reducing truth-telling online mechanisms to online optimization
We describe a general technique for converting an online algorithm B to a truthtelling mechanism. We require that the original online competitive algorithm has certain "nicen...
