Assessing solution quality in stochastic programs
Determining if a solution is optimal or near optimal is fundamental in optimization theory, algorithms, and computation. For instance, Karush-Kuhn-Tucker conditions provide necessa...

The best of both worlds: stochastic and adversarial bandits
We present a bandit algorithm, SAO (Stochastic and Adversarial Optimal), whose regret is, essentially, optimal both for adversarial rewards and for stochastic rewards. Specifical...

Towards a Characterisation of the Behaviour of Stochastic Local Search Algorithms for SAT
Stochastic local search (SLS) algorithms have been successfully applied to hard combinatorial problems from different domains. Due to their inherent randomness, the run-time behav...

On the Hardness and Smoothed Complexity of Quasi-Concave Minimization
In this paper, we resolve the smoothed and approximative complexity of low-rank quasi-concave minimization, providing both upper and lower bounds. As an upper bound, we provide th...

On a stochastic sensor selection algorithm with applications in sensor scheduling and sensor coverage
In this note we consider the following problem. Suppose a set of sensors is jointly trying to estimate a process. One sensor takes a measurement at every time step and the measure...
