Approximation Algorithms for Partial-Information Based Stochastic Control with Markovian Rewards
We consider a variant of the classic multi-armed bandit problem (MAB), which we call FEEDBACK MAB, where the reward obtained by playing each of n independent arms varies according...

An Approximate Max-Steiner-Tree-Packing Min-Steiner-Cut Theorem
Given an undirected multigraph G and a subset of vertices S V (G), the STEINER TREE PACKING problem is to find a largest collection of edge-disjoint trees that each connects S. T...

Some baby-step giant-step algorithms for the low hamming weight discrete logarithm problem
In this paper, we present several baby-step giant-step algorithms for the low hamming weight discrete logarithm problem. In this version of the discrete log problem, we are require...
