We consider the problem minx(x−t) A(x−t) subject to x Bx + 2b x = k where A is positive definite or positive semidefinite. Commonly occurring statistical variants of this pro...
We consider the question of lookahead in the list update problem: What improvement can be achieved in terms of competitiveness if an on-line algorithm sees not only the present re...
We study the online ad-auctions problem introduced by Mehta et. al. [15]. We design a (1 − 1/e)competitive (optimal) algorithm for the problem, which is based on a clean primal-...
Abstract-- The FOCal Underdetermined System Solver (FOCUSS) algorithm has already found many applications in signal processing and data analysis, whereas the regularized MFOCUSS al...
We present a simple probabilistic algorithm for solving kSAT, and more generally, for solving constraint satisfaction problems (CSP). The algorithm follows a simple localsearch pa...
