Sampling-based Approximation Algorithms for Multi-stage Stochastic Optimization
Stochastic optimization problems provide a means to model uncertainty in the input data where the uncertainty is modeled by a probability distribution over the possible realizatio...

Analysis of Approximation Algorithms for k-Set Cover Using Factor-Revealing Linear Programs
We present new combinatorial approximation algorithms for k-set cover. Previous approaches are based on extending the greedy algorithm by efficiently handling small sets. The new a...

Dealing with stochastic reachability
Abstract— For stochastic hybrid systems, stochastic reachability is very little supported mainly because of complexity and difficulty of the associated mathematical problems. In...

Partitioned Linear Programming Approximations for MDPs
Approximate linear programming (ALP) is an efficient approach to solving large factored Markov decision processes (MDPs). The main idea of the method is to approximate the optimal...

Water networks security: A two-stage mixed-integer stochastic program for sensor placement under uncertainty
This work describes a stochastic approach for the optimal placement of sensors in municipal water networks to detect maliciously injected contaminants. The model minimizes the exp...
