Numerical methods for the optimization of nonlinear stochastic delay systems, and an application to internet regulation
The Markov chain approximation method is an effective and widely used approach for computing optimal values and controls for stochastic systems. It was extended to nonlinear (and p...

Counting good truth assignments of random k-SAT formulae
We present a deterministic approximation algorithm to compute logarithm of the number of `good' truth assignments for a random k-satisfiability (k-SAT) formula in polynomial ...

Mixed Membership Stochastic Blockmodels
Consider data consisting of pairwise measurements, such as presence or absence of links between pairs of objects. These data arise, for instance, in the analysis of protein intera...

Convergence theory for nonconvex stochastic programming with an application to mixed logit
Monte Carlo methods have been used extensively in the area of stochastic programming. As with other methods that involve a level of uncertainty, theoretical properties are required...
