Nearly Tight Bounds for the Continuum-Armed Bandit Problem
In the multi-armed bandit problem, an online algorithm must choose from a set of strategies in a sequence of n trials so as to minimize the total cost of the chosen strategies. Wh...

Non Uniform Selection of Solutions for Upper Bounding the 3-SAT Threshold
We give a new insight into the upper bounding of the 3-SAT threshold by the first moment method. The best criteria developed so far to select the solutions to be counted discrimina...

Explicit bounds and heuristics on class numbers in hyperelliptic function fields
Abstract. In this paper, we provide tight estimates for the divisor class number of hyperelliptic function fields. We extend the existing methods to any hyperelliptic function fiel...

Concave Programming Upper Bounds on the Capacity of 2-D Constraints
The capacity of 1-D constraints is given by the entropy of a corresponding stationary maxentropic Markov chain. Namely, the entropy is maximized over a set of probability distribut...

Competitive queueing policies for QoS switches
We consider packet scheduling in a network providing differentiated services, where each packet is assigned a value. We study various queueing models for supporting QoS (Quality ...
