Markov decisionprocesses(MDPs) haveproven to be popular models for decision-theoretic planning, but standard dynamic programming algorithms for solving MDPs rely on explicit, stat...
We consider a robust model proposed by Scarf, 1958, for stochastic optimization when only the marginal probabilities of (binary) random variables are given, and the correlation be...
: We introduce a graph-theoretic generalization of classical Arrow-Debreu economics, in which an undirected graph specifies which consumers or economies are permitted to engage in...
With the advent of XML and its use as a database language, dependency and normal form theory has attracted novel research interest. Several approaches to build up a dependency and...
Current efficient planners employ an informed search guided by a heuristic function that is quite expensive to compute. Thus, ordering nodes in the search tree becomes a key issue,...
