An original algorithm is presented that generates both restricted integer compositions and restricted integer partitions that can be constrained simultaneously by a) upper and low...
Abstract. We consider the problem of maintaining polynomial and exponential decay aggregates of a data stream, where the weight of values seen from the stream diminishes as time el...
For the problem of online real-time scheduling of jobs on a single processor, previous work presents matching upper and lower bounds on the competitive ratio that can be achieved ...
Let S = s1, s2, s3, ..., sn be a given vector of n distinct real numbers. The rank of z R with respect to S is defined as the number of elements si S such that si z. We consider...
We consider a bandit problem which involves sequential sampling from two populations (arms). Each arm produces a noisy reward realization which depends on an observable random cov...
