We consider the problem of assigning prices to goods of fixed marginal cost in order to maximize revenue in the presence of single-minded customers. We focus in particular on the...
Abstract--The Distributed Stochastic Algorithm (DSA), Distributed Breakout Algorithm (DBA), and variations such as Distributed Simulated Annealing (DSAN), MGM-1, and DisPeL, are di...
In the Newcomb problem, the standard arguments for taking either one box or both boxes adduce what seem to be relevant considerations, but they are not complete arguments, and att...
If it is true that good problems produce good science, then it will be worthwhile to identify good problems, and even more worthwhile to discover the attributes that make them goo...
The field of stochastic optimization studies decision making under uncertainty, when only probabilistic information about the future is available. Finding approximate solutions to...
