We obtain a characterization of feasible, Bayesian, multi-item multi-bidder mechanisms with independent, additive bidders as distributions over hierarchical mechanisms. Combined w...

Abstract. In this paper, nogood recording is investigated for CSP within the randomization and restart framework. Our goal is to avoid the same situations to occur from one run to ...
We present a new approximation method called value extrapolation for Markov processes with large or infinite state spaces. The method can be applied for calculating any performan...
