Polynomial-time safe and unsafe approximations for intractable sets were introduced by Meyer and Paterson [Technical Report TM-126, Laboratory for Computer Science, MIT, Cambridge,...
Abstract. We propose an analytic approach to approximate the survival probabilities of schemata under multi-point crossover and obtain its closed form. It gives a convenient way to...
Knapsack constraints are a key modeling structure in discrete optimization and form the core of many real-life problem formulations. Only recently, a cost-based filtering algorit...

For a countable-state Markov decision process we introduce an embedding which produces a finite-state Markov decision process. The finite-state embedded process has the same optim...
