Any proof of P = NP will have to overcome two barriers: relativization and natural proofs. Yet over the last decade, we have seen circuit lower bounds (for example, that PP does n...
This paper presents a new approach to pricing Americanstyle derivatives. By approximating the value function with a piecewise linear interpolation function, the option holder'...

Partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs) are an intuitive and general way to model sequential decision making problems under uncertainty. Unfortunately, even approx...

We first show that for any bipartite graph H with at most five vertices, there exists an on-line competitive algorithm for the class of H-free bipartite graphs. We then analyze th...
We develop new methods to statically bound the resources needed for the execution of systems of concurrent, interactive threads. Our study is concerned with a synchronous model of ...
