On-Line Search for Solving Markov Decision Processes via Heuristic Sampling
In the past, Markov Decision Processes (MDPs) have become a standard for solving problems of sequential decision under uncertainty. The usual request in this framework is the compu...

Rapidly Mixing Markov Chains for Sampling Contingency Tables with a Constant Number of Rows
We consider the problem of sampling almost uniformly from the set of contingency tables with given row and column sums, when the number of rows is a constant. Cryan and Dyer [3] h...

On the Diaconis-Gangolli Markov Chain for Sampling Contingency Tables with Cell-Bounded Entries
The problems of uniformly sampling and approximately counting contingency tables have been widely studied, but efficient solutions are only known in special cases. One appealing ap...

Estimating the Average of a Lipschitz-Continuous Function from One Sample
We study the problem of estimating the average of a Lipschitz continuous function f defined over a metric space, by querying f at only a single point. More specifically, we explore...
