— Algorithmic problem reduction is a fundamental approach to problem solving in many fields, including robotics. To solve a problem using this scheme, we must reduce the problem...
The property that the executability and the effects of an action are determined entirely by the current state or situation is known as the Markov property and is assumed in most f...
The key ideas behind most of the recently proposed Markov networks based EDAs were to factorise the joint probability distribution in terms of the cliques in the undirected graph....
We prove an upper bound on the convergence rate of Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithms for the important special case when the state space can be aggregated into a smaller ...
