Coherent choice functions under uncertainty
We discuss several features of coherent choice functions – where the admissible options in a decision problem are exactly those which maximize expected utility for some probabil...

A Deterministic Algorithm for Solving Imprecise Decision Problems
Today there are numerous tools for decision analysis, suitable both for human and artificial decision makers. Most of these tools require the decision maker to provide precise num...

Optimal Online Prediction in Adversarial Environments
: In many prediction problems, including those that arise in computer security and computational finance, the process generating the data is best modeled as an adversary with whom ...

Decision with Uncertainties, Feasibilities, and Utilities: Towards a Unified Algebraic Framework
Several formalisms exist to express and solve decision problems. Each is designed to capture different kinds of knowledge: utilities expressing preferences, uncertainties on the en...

The Gap-Problems: A New Class of Problems for the Security of Cryptographic Schemes
This paper introduces a novel class of computational problems, the gap problems, which can be considered as a dual to the class of the decision problems. We show the relationship a...

Parameterizing Cut Sets in a Graph by the Number of Their Components
For a connected graph G = (V, E), a subset U ⊆ V is called a k-cut if U disconnects G, and the subgraph induced by U contains exactly k (≥ 1) components. More specifically, a ...

Folk Theorems on the Determinization and Minimization of Timed Automata
Timed automata are known not to be complementable or determinizable. Natural questions are, then, could we check whether a given TA enjoys these properties? These problems are not...

Individual error, group error, and the value of information
Abstract This paper studies the interaction of error and information both in a single-person setting and in an interactive setting. In contrast to Blackwell’s Theorem, which says...
