Approximate Discrete Probability Distribution Representation Using a Multi-Resolution Binary Tree
Computing and storing probabilities is a hard problem as soon as one has to deal with complex distributions over multiples random variables. The problem of efficient representati...

Fast distributed approximation algorithms for vertex cover and set cover in anonymous networks
We present a distributed algorithm that finds a maximal edge packing in O(∆ + log∗ W) synchronous communication rounds in a weighted graph, independent of the number of nodes...

Adaptive minimax filtering via recursive optimal quadratic approximations
This paper considers the minimax filtering problem in which the supremum norm of weighted error sequence is minimized. It is shown that the minimax solution is also the optimal Se...

Approximate Solution Techniques for Factored First-Order MDPs
Most traditional approaches to probabilistic planning in relationally specified MDPs rely on grounding the problem w.r.t. specific domain instantiations, thereby incurring a com...

Approximating mixed Nash equilibria using smooth fictitious play in simultaneous auctions
We investigate equilibrium strategies for bidding agents that participate in multiple, simultaneous second-price auctions with perfect substitutes. For this setting, previous rese...
