Abstract. Tikhonov regularization often is applied with a finite difference regularization operator that approximates a low-order derivative. This paper proposes the use of ortho...
Abstract. Global optimization seeks a minimum or maximum of a multimodal function over a discrete or continuous domain. In this paper, we propose a hybrid heuristic – based on th...

We develop first-order smoothing techniques for saddle-point problems that arise in the Nash equilibria computation of sequential games. The crux of our work is a construction of ...
We describe an automata-theoretic approach for the competitive analysis of online algorithms. Our approach is based on weighted automata, which assign to each input word a cost in...
Borodin, Nielsen and Rackoff [13] introduced the class of priority algorithms as a framework for modeling deterministic greedy-like algorithms. In this paper we address the effe...
