In this paper, we consider a constrained sequential resource allocation problem where an individual needs to accomplish a task by repeatedly guessing/investing a sufficient level o...
A weakness of classical Markov decision processes (MDPs) is that they scale very poorly due to the flat state-space representation. Factored MDPs address this representational pro...
This paper deals with generalized pattern search (GPS) algorithms for linearly constrained optimization. At each iteration, the GPS algorithm generates a set of directions that con...
Capturing multiple photos at different focus settings is a powerful approach for reducing optical blur, but how many photos should we capture within a fixed time budget? We develop...

We consider the problem of inter-cluster routing between cluster heads via intermediate sensor nodes in a hierarchical sensor network. Sensor nodes having limited and unreplenishab...
