Randomized Approximation Schemes for Scheduling Unrelated Parallel Machines
We consider the problem of Scheduling n Independent Jobs on m Unrelated Parallel Machines, when the number of machines m is xed. We address the standard problem of minimizing the ...

A constant-factor approximately optimal solution to the Witsenhausen counterexample
Abstract— Despite its simplicity (two controllers and otherwise LQG), Witsenhausen’s counterexample is one of the long-standing open problems in stochastic distributed control....

Extending Scope of Robust Optimization: Comprehensive Robust Counterparts of Uncertain Problems
In this paper, we propose a new methodology for handling optimization problems with uncertain data. With the usual Robust Optimization paradigm, one looks for the decisions ensurin...
