Developing and Reasoning About Probabilistic Programs in pGCL
“demonic” nondeterminism, representing abstraction from (or ignorance of) which of two program fragments will be executed. By introducing probabilistic nondeterminism into GCL,...

Estimating the Average of a Lipschitz-Continuous Function from One Sample
We study the problem of estimating the average of a Lipschitz continuous function f defined over a metric space, by querying f at only a single point. More specifically, we explore...

Using differential evolution for symbolic regression and numerical constant creation
One problem that has plagued Genetic Programming (GP) and its derivatives is numerical constant creation. Given a mathematical formula expressed as a tree structure, the leaf node...

Machine scheduling with resource dependent processing times
We consider machine scheduling on unrelated parallel machines with the objective to minimize the schedule makespan. We assume that, in addition to its machine dependence, the proce...

Anisotropic Noise Samples
We present a practical approach to generate stochastic anisotropic samples with Poisson-disk characteristic over a two-dimensional domain. In contrast to isotropic samples, we unde...
