On fusion of information from multiple sensors in the presence of analog erasure links
— Consider multiple sensors that transmit data over analog erasure links to an estimation center. The sensors have access to distinct entries of the output vector of a linear and...

Almost optimum placement legalization by minimum cost flow and dynamic programming
VLSI placement tools usually work in two steps: First, the cells that have to be placed are roughly spread out over the chip area ignoring disjointness (global placement). Then, i...

Near-Bayesian exploration in polynomial time
We consider the exploration/exploitation problem in reinforcement learning (RL). The Bayesian approach to model-based RL offers an elegant solution to this problem, by considering...

Efficient Reorganization of Binary Search Trees
We consider the problem of maintaining a binary search tree (BST) that minimizes the average access cost needed to satisfy randomly generated requests. We analyze scenarios in whi...
