Validity and Failure of the Boltzmann Approximation of Kinetic Annihilation
This paper introduces a new method to show the validity of a continuum description for the deterministic dynamics of many interacting particles. Here the many particle evolution is...

Optimal Inapproximability Results for Max-Cut and Other 2-Variable CSPs?
In this paper we show a reduction from the Unique Games problem to the problem of approximating MAX-CUT to within a factor of GW + , for all > 0; here GW .878567 denotes the a...

Epsilon-constraint with an efficient cultured differential evolution
In this paper we present the use of a previously developed single-objective optimization approach, together with the -constraint method, to provide an approximation of the Pareto ...

EP for Efficient Stochastic Control with Obstacles
Abstract. We address the problem of continuous stochastic optimal control in the presence of hard obstacles. Due to the non-smooth character of the obstacles, the traditional appro...

Aggregation of partial rankings, p-ratings and top-m lists
We study the problem of aggregating partial rankings. This problem is motivated by applications such as meta-searching and information retrieval, search engine spam fighting, e-c...
