MB-DPOP: A New Memory-Bounded Algorithm for Distributed Optimization
In distributed combinatorial optimization problems, dynamic programming algorithms like DPOP ([Petcu and Faltings, 2005]) require only a linear number of messages, thus generating...

A Sparse Sampling Algorithm for Near-Optimal Planning in Large Markov Decision Processes
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...

An Optimal, Stable Continued Fraction Algorithm
We analyse a continued fraction algorithm (abbreviated CFA) for arbitrary dimension n showing that it produces simultaneous diophantine approximations which are up to the factor 2(...
