Given a set of rectangles we are asked to pack as many of them as possible into a bigger rectangle. The rectangles packed may not overlap and may not be rotated. This problem is NP...
We combine three threads of research on approximate dynamic programming: sparse random sampling of states, value function and policy approximation using local models, and using lo...
Various stochastic programmingproblemscan be formulated as problems of optimization of an expected value function. Quite often the corresponding expectation function cannot be com...
We study approaches that fit a linear combination of basis functions to the continuation value function of an optimal stopping problem and then employ a greedy policy based on the...
: This paper introduces the problem of fault tolerant topology control for one-to-all communications in symmetric wireless networks. We investigate two algorithms to address the pr...
