Designing efficient bidding strategies for sequential auctions remains an important, open problem area in agent-mediated electronic markets. In existing literature, a variety of bi...
This paper reveals the surprising result that a single-parent non-elitist evolution strategy (ES) can be locally faster than the (1+1)-ES. The result is brought about by mirrored s...

This paper presents a new sequential decoding algorithm based on dynamic searching strategy to improve decoding efficiency. The searching strategy is to exploit both sorting and p...
The problem of optimal sequential decision for individual sequences, relative to a class of competing o -line reference strategies, is studied for general loss functions with memo...
