Although every terminating loop has a ranking function, not every loop has a ranking function of a restricted form, such as a lexicographic tuple of polynomials over program variab...
A primary goal of program performance understanding tools is to focus the user's attention directly on optimization opportunities where significant cost savings may be found....
We present a new formal OO method, called FOX, which is a synergetic combination of the semi-formal Fusion method and the formal specification language Object-Z. To manage complex...
— Reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms have long been promising methods for enabling an autonomous robot to improve its behavior on sequential decision-making tasks. The obviou...
Abstract. Dynamicprogramming is an importantalgorithm design technique. It is used for solving problems whose solutions involve recursively solving subproblems that share subsubpro...
