Packet Routing in Dynamically Changing Networks: A Reinforcement Learning Approach
This paper describes the Q-routing algorithm for packet routing, in which a reinforcement learning module is embedded into each node of a switching network. Only local communicati...

Stable routing under the Spanning Tree Protocol
The Spanning Tree Protocol routes traffic on shortest path trees. If some edges fail, the traffic has to be rerouted consequently, setting up alternative trees. In this paper we d...

On the Geometric Dilation of Finite Point Sets
Let G be an embedded planar graph whose edges may be curves. For two arbitrary points of G, we can compare the length of the shortest path in G connecting them against their Euclid...

Lower bounds for distributed markov chain problems
We study the worst-case communication complexity of distributed algorithms computing a path problem based on stationary distributions of random walks in a network G with the caveat...

Edge flows in the complete random-lengths network
Consider the complete n-vertex graph whose edge-lengths are independent exponentially distributed random variables. Simultaneously for each pair of vertices, put a constant flow ...
