The standard dynamic programming solution to finding k-medians on a line with n nodes requires O(kn2 ) time. Dynamic programming speedup techniques, e.g., use of the quadrangle i...
Abstract. We present a first constant performance guarantee for preemptive stochastic scheduling to minimize the sum of weighted completion times. For scheduling jobs with release ...
The one-step anticipatory algorithm (1s-AA) is an online algorithm making decisions under uncertainty by ignoring future non-anticipativity constraints. It makes near-optimal decis...
In this paper, we describe methods for e ciently computing better solutions to control problems in continuous state spaces. We provide algorithms that exploit online search to boo...
Frequently, the computation of derivatives for optimizing time-dependent problems is based on the integration of the adjoint differential equation. For this purpose, the knowledge...
