Physical Mapping with Repeated Probes: The Hypergraph Superstring Problem
We focus on the combinatorial analysis of physical mapping with repeated probes. We present computational complexity results, and we describe and analyze an algorithmic strategy. W...

Combinatorial Optimization of Sensing for Rule-Based Planar Distributed Assembly
Abstract— We describe a model for planar distributed assembly, in which agents move randomly and independently on a twodimensional grid, joining square blocks together to form a ...

A Dynamic Programming Framework for Combinatorial Optimization Problems on Graphs with Bounded Pathwidth
In this paper we present an algorithmic framework for solving a class of combinatorial optimization problems on graphs with bounded pathwidth. The problems are NP-hard in general, ...

Iterative Methods in Combinatorial Optimization
We describe a simple iterative method for proving a variety of results in combinatorial optimization. It is inspired by Jain’s iterative rounding method (FOCS 1998) for designing...

The O.D.E. Method for Convergence of Stochastic Approximation and Reinforcement Learning
It is shown here that stability of the stochastic approximation algorithm is implied by the asymptotic stability of the origin for an associated ODE. This in turn implies convergen...
