— In recent years, idempotent methods (specifically, max-plus methods) have been developed for solution of nonlinear control problems. It was thought that idempotent linearity o...
We consider a class of restless multi-armed bandit problems that arises in multi-channel opportunistic communications, where channels are modeled as independent and stochastically...
Abstract. This paper evaluates the power of a new scheme that generates search heuristics mechanically. This approach was presented and evaluated rst in the context of optimization...
In large content-based image database applications, e cient information retrieval depends heavily on good indexing structures of the extracted features. While indexing techniques f...
This paper studies the input design problem for system identification where time domain constraints have to be considered. A finite Markov chain is used to model the input of the s...
