The main aim of randomized search heuristics is to produce good approximations of optimal solutions within a small amount of time. In contrast to numerous experimental results, th...

We examine several online matching problems, with applications to Internet advertising reservation systems. Consider an edge-weighted bipartite graph G, with partite sets L, R. We...
In this paper, we give evidence for the problems Disjoint Cycles and Disjoint Paths that they cannot be preprocessed in polynomial time such that resulting instances always have a ...
We investigate the problem of reconstructing sparse multivariate trigonometric polynomials from few randomly taken samples by Basis Pursuit and greedy algorithms such as Orthogona...
Many stochastic planning problems can be represented using Markov Decision Processes (MDPs). A difficulty with using these MDP representations is that the common algorithms for so...
