How to Achieve Minimax Expected Kullback-Leibler Distance from an Unknown Finite Distribution
Abstract. We consider a problem that is related to the “Universal Encoding Problem” from information theory. The basic goal is to find rules that map “partial information”...

Average-Case Analyses of First Fit and Random Fit Bin Packing
We prove that the First Fit bin packing algorithm is stable under the input distribution U{k - 2, k} for all k 3, settling an open question from the recent survey by Coffman, Gar...
