Input design using Markov chains for system identification
This paper studies the input design problem for system identification where time domain constraints have to be considered. A finite Markov chain is used to model the input of the s...

A Heuristic for the Stacker Crane Problem on Trees Which Is Almost Surely Exact
Abstract Given an edge-weighted transportation network G and a list of transportation requests L, the Stacker Crane Problem is to find a minimum-cost tour for a server along the e...

Q-learning and Pontryagin's Minimum Principle
Abstract— Q-learning is a technique used to compute an optimal policy for a controlled Markov chain based on observations of the system controlled using a non-optimal policy. It ...

The Minimum-Area Spanning Tree Problem
Motivated by optimization problems in sensor coverage, we formulate and study the Minimum-Area Spanning Tree (mast) problem: Given a set P of n points in the plane, find a spannin...

Cluster Tree Elimination for Distributed Constraint Optimization with Quality Guarantees
Some distributed constraint optimization algorithms use a linear number of messages in the number of agents, but of exponential size. This is often the main limitation for their pr...
