Let s be the ratio of the cost for purchasing skis over the cost for renting them. Then the famous result for the ski-rental problem shows that skiers should buy their skis after r...
In real-time animation systems, motion interpolation techniques are widely used for their controllability and efficiency. The techniques sample the parameter space using example mo...
An issue that is critical for the application of Markov decision processes MDPs to realistic problems is how the complexity of planning scales with the size of the MDP. In stochas...
Location management plays a significant role in current and future wireless mobile networks in effectively delivering services to the mobile users on the move. Many schemes have be...
Abstract. We discuss periodization of smooth functions f of d variables for approximation of multivariate integrals. The benefit of periodization is that we may use lattice rules,...
