A wide variety of stability and performance questions about linear dynamical systems can be reformulated as convex optimization problems involving linear matrix inequalities (LMIs...

In this work we focus on efficient heuristics for solving a class of stochastic planning problems that arise in a variety of business, investment, and industrial applications. The...
We study two apparently different, but formally similar, scheduling problems. The first problem involves contract algorithms, which can trade off run time for solution quality, a...

Design by Contract is a design methodology that promotes software reliability and reusability by requiring each component module to have a well-specified interface and leaves a mo...
