On the Optimality of the Dimensionality Reduction Method
We investigate the optimality of (1+ )-approximation algorithms obtained via the dimensionality reduction method. We show that: • Any data structure for the (1 + )-approximate n...

An approximate algorithm for solving oracular POMDPs
Abstract— We propose a new approximate algorithm, LAJIV (Lookahead J-MDP Information Value), to solve Oracular Partially Observable Markov Decision Problems (OPOMDPs), a special ...

Hybrid Least-Squares Algorithms for Approximate Policy Evaluation
The goal of approximate policy evaluation is to “best” represent a target value function according to a specific criterion. Temporal difference methods and Bellman residual m...

Solving Packing Problem with Weaker Block Solvers
We study the general packing problem with M constraints. In [Jansen and Zhang, TCS 2002] a c(1 + ε)-approximation algorithm for the general packing problem was proposed. A block s...

Theoretical Properties of Two ACO Approaches for the Traveling Salesman Problem
Ant colony optimization (ACO) has been widely used for different combinatorial optimization problems. In this paper, we investigate ACO algorithms with respect to their runtime beh...
