Reliability-Oriented Genetic Algorithm for Workflow Applications Using Max-Min Strategy
— To optimize makespan and reliability for workflow applications, most existing works use list heuristics rather than genetic algorithms (GAs) which can usually give better solut...

A stochastic approximation method with max-norm projections and its applications to the Q-learning algorithm
In this paper, we develop a stochastic approximation method to solve a monotone estimation problem and use this method to enhance the empirical performance of the Q-learning algor...

Consensus in non-commutative spaces
Convergence analysis of consensus algorithms is revisited in the light of the Hilbert distance. The Lyapunov function used in the early analysis by Tsitsiklis is shown to be the Hi...
