Approximate dynamic programming using fluid and diffusion approximations with applications to power management
—TD learning and its refinements are powerful tools for approximating the solution to dynamic programming problems. However, the techniques provide the approximate solution only...

The Core Concept for the Multidimensional Knapsack Problem
Abstract. We present the newly developed core concept for the Multidimensional Knapsack Problem (MKP) which is an extension of the classical concept for the one-dimensional case. T...

Decomposing Coverings and the Planar Sensor Cover Problem
We show that a k-fold covering using translates of an arbitrary convex polygon can be decomposed into Omega(k) covers (using an efficient algorithm). We generalize this result to ...

On the inapproximability of the exemplar conserved interval distance problem of genomes
In this paper we present two main results about the inapproximability of the exemplar conserved interval distance problem of genomes. First, we prove that it is NP-complete to deci...
