A weakness of classical Markov decision processes (MDPs) is that they scale very poorly due to the flat state-space representation. Factored MDPs address this representational pro...
We consider the feedback vertex set and feedback arc set problems in bipartite tournaments. We improve on recent results by giving a 2-approximation algorithm for the feedback vert...
This paper presents the fundamental theory and algorithms for identifying the most preferred alternative for a decision maker (DM) having a non-centrist (or extremist) preferentia...
Abstract. AND/OR search spaces have recently been introduced as a unifying paradigm for advanced algorithmic schemes for graphical models. The main virtue of this representation is...
The use of floating-point calculations limits the accuracy of solutions obtained by standard LP software. We present a simplex-based algorithm that returns exact rational solutio...
