A second-order hierarchical uncertainty model of a system of independent random variables is studied in the paper. It is shown that the complex nonlinear optimization problem for ...
We consider the Multi-armed bandit problem under the PAC (“probably approximately correct”) model. It was shown by Even-Dar et al. [5] that given n arms, it suffices to play th...
The popularity of the Web has created a great marketplace for businesses to sell and showcase their products increasing the need for secure Web services such as SSL, TLS or SET. We...
— Model reduction methods from diverse fields— including control, statistical mechanics and economics—aimed at systems that can be represented by Markov chains, are discusse...

An edge cover C of an undirected graph is a set of edges such that every vertex has an adjacent edge in C. We show that a Glauber dynamics Markov chain for edge covers mixes rapidl...
