Cooperative searching for stochastic targets
Spatial search problems abound in the real world, from locating hidden nuclear or chemical sources to finding skiers after an avalanche. We exemplify the formalism and solution fo...

A large neighbourhood search approach to the multi-activity shift scheduling problem
The challenge in shift scheduling lies in the construction of a set of work shifts, which are subject to specific regulations, in order to cover fluctuating staff demands. This pro...

Variational methods for Reinforcement Learning
We consider reinforcement learning as solving a Markov decision process with unknown transition distribution. Based on interaction with the environment, an estimate of the transit...

Large-Scale Convex Minimization with a Low-Rank Constraint
We address the problem of minimizing a convex function over the space of large matrices with low rank. While this optimization problem is hard in general, we propose an efficient...

Weak Dynamic Programming Principle for Viscosity Solutions
Abstract. We prove a weak version of the dynamic programming principle for standard stochastic control problems and mixed control-stopping problems, which avoids the technical di...
