We consider the problem of solving a nonhomogeneous infinite horizon Markov Decision Process (MDP) problem in the general case of potentially multiple optimal first period polic...

People often use direct physical contact to guide a person to a desired location (e.g., leading a child by the hand) or to adjust a person’s posture for a task (e.g., a dance in...
The Baxter number Bn can be written as Bn = n k=0 Θk,n−k−1 with Θk,ℓ = 2 (k + 1)2 (k + 2) k + ℓ k k + ℓ + 1 k k + ℓ + 2 k . These numbers have first appeared in the...
We define the weight of an integer N to be the smallest w such that N can be represented as w i=1 i2ci , with 1,..., w{1,-1}. Since arithmetic modulo a prime of low weight is parti...
The problem of completing a low-rank matrix from a subset of its entries is often encountered in the analysis of incomplete data sets exhibiting an underlying factor model with app...
