On the Advantage over Random for Maximum Acyclic Subgraph
In this paper we present a new approximation algorithm for the Max Acyclic Subgraph problem. Given an instance where the maximum acyclic subgraph contains 1/2 + δ fraction of all...

Improving convergence of the stochastic decomposition algorithm by using an efficient sampling technique
This work focuses on the basic stochastic decomposition (SD) algorithm of Higle and Sen [J.L. Higle, S. Sen, Stochastic Decomposition, Kluwer Academic Publishers, 1996] for two-st...

Optimal Distributed Stochastic Routing Algorithms for Wireless Multihop Networks
A novel framework was introduced recently for stochastic routing in wireless multihop networks, whereby each node selects a neighbor to forward a packet according to a probability...
