We develop a framework for obtaining Fully Polynomial Time Approximation Schemes (FPTASs) for stochastic univariate dynamic programs with either convex or monotone single-period c...

Real-time dynamic programming (RTDP) is a heuristic search algorithm for solving MDPs. We present a modified algorithm called Focused RTDP with several improvements. While RTDP ma...
We develop data structures for dynamic closest pair problems with arbitrary (not necessarily geometric) distance functions, based on a technique previously used by the author for ...
This paper presents an adaptation of a novel algorithm based on the foraging behavior of honey bees to solve constrained numerical optimization problems. The modifications focus on...
We consider the problem of maintaining information about the rank of a matrix M under changes to its entries. For an n × n matrix M, we show an amortized upper bound of O(nω−1)...
