We study a generalization of the k-median problem with respect to an arbitrary dissimilarity measure D. Given a finite set P of size n, our goal is to find a set C of size k such t...
We study the problem of covering a set of points or polyhedra in 3 with two axis-aligned boxes in order to minimize a function of the measures of the two boxes, such as the sum or...

Consider the classical online scheduling problem where jobs that arrive one by one are assigned to identical parallel machines with the objective of minimizing the makespan. We gen...
In the partially-ordered knapsack problem (POK) we are given a set N of items and a partial order ≺P on N. Each item has a size and an associated weight. The objective is to pac...
This paper addresses the issue of policy evaluation in Markov Decision Processes, using linear function approximation. It provides a unified view of algorithms such as TD(), LSTD()...
