We study the forward and backward substitution phases of a sparse multifrontal factorization. These phases are often neglected in papers on sparse direct factorization but, in man...

Abstract. We present three algorithms to calculate Φn(z), the nth cyclotomic polynomial. The first algorithm calculates Φn(z) by a series of polynomial divisions, which we perfo...
We analyze volume flexibility — the ability to produce above/below the installed capacity for a product — under endogenous pricing in a two-product setting. We discover that ...
We present a method whereby an embodied agent using visual perception can efficiently create a model of a local indoor environment from its experience of moving within it. Our me...

Research in reinforcement learning has produced algorithms for optimal decision making under uncertainty that fall within two main types. The first employs a Bayesian framework, ...
