Computing and Using Lower and Upper Bounds for Action Elimination in MDP Planning
Abstract. We describe a way to improve the performance of MDP planners by modifying them to use lower and upper bounds to eliminate non-optimal actions during their search. First, ...

Non-commutative circuits and the sum-of-squares problem
We initiate a direction for proving lower bounds on the size of non-commutative arithmetic circuits. This direction is based on a connection between lower bounds on the size of no...

Generation Problems
Given a fixed computable binary operation , we study the complexity of the following generation problem: The input consists of strings ½ Ò . The question is whether is in the c...

Optimal distortion embeddings of distance regular graphs into Euclidean spaces
ABSTRACT. In this paper we give a lower bound for the least distortion embedding of a distance regular graph into Euclidean space. We use the lower bound for finding the least dist...

The DMM bound: multivariate (aggregate) separation bounds
In this paper we derive aggregate separation bounds, named after Davenport-MahlerMignotte (DMM), on the isolated roots of polynomial systems, specifically on the minimum distance ...
