Algorithms based on local search are popular for solving many optimization problems including the maximum satisfiability problem (MAXSAT). With regard to MAXSAT, the state of the ...
The stable marriage problem is a classical matching problem introduced by Gale and Shapley. It is known that for any instance, there exists a solution, and there is a polynomial ti...
Abstract-- We consider reinforcement learning, and in particular, the Q-learning algorithm in large state and action spaces. In order to cope with the size of the spaces, a functio...
In this paper, we give a O(log copt)-approximation algorithm for the point guard problem where copt is the optimal number of guards. Our algorithm runs in time polynomial in n, the...

—We develop a stochastic local search algorithm for finding Pareto points for multi-criteria optimization problems. The algorithm alternates between different single-criterium o...
