The Price of Bandit Information for Online Optimization
In the online linear optimization problem, a learner must choose, in each round, a decision from a set D ⊂ Rn in order to minimize an (unknown and changing) linear cost function...

Mean field for Markov Decision Processes: from Discrete to Continuous Optimization
We study the convergence of Markov Decision Processes made of a large number of objects to optimization problems on ordinary differential equations (ODE). We show that the optimal...

On optimality of a polynomial algorithm for random linear multidimensional assignment problem
We demonstrate that the Linear Multidimensional Assignment Problem with iid random costs is polynomially "-approximable almost surely (a. s.) via a simple greedy heuristic, f...

Local and global order 3/2 convergence of a surrogate evolutionary algorithm
A Quasi-Monte-Carlo method based on the computation of a surrogate model of the fitness function is proposed, and its convergence at super-linear rate 3/2 is proved under rather ...
