: We prove the main conjecture of the paper "On the expected value of the minimum assignment" by Marshall W. Buck, Clara S. Chan, and David P. Robbins [Random Structures ...
If we compose sufficiently many random functions on a finite set, then the composite function will be constant. We determine the number of compositions that are needed, on average...
We propose a sample average approximation (SAA) method for stochastic programming problems involving an expected value constraint. Such problems arise, for example, in portfolio s...
The problem of path planning for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) with a tracking mission, when some a priori information about the targets and the environment is available can in s...
Statistical selection procedures can identify the best of a finite set of alternatives, where “best” is defined in terms of the unknown expected value of each alternative’...
NK models provide a family of tunably rugged fitness landscapes used in a wide range of evolutionary computation studies. It is well known that the average height of local optima...
