We present a probabilistic analysis for a large class of combinatorial optimization problems containing, e.g., all binary optimization problems defined by linear constraints and a...
We consider the classical multi-armed bandit problem with Markovian rewards. When played an arm changes its state in a Markovian fashion while it remains frozen when not played. Th...
In this paper the tradeoff between energy and delay for wireless networks is studied. A network using a request-to-send (RTS) and clear-to-send (CTS) type medium access control (M...
