Approximation Algorithms for Scheduling Parallel Jobs
Abstract. In this paper we study variants of the non-preemptive parallel job scheduling problem where the number of machines is polynomially bounded in the number of jobs. For this...

Mean-Variance Optimization in Markov Decision Processes
We consider finite horizon Markov decision processes under performance measures that involve both the mean and the variance of the cumulative reward. We show that either randomiz...

Complexity of the Min-Max (Regret) Versions of Cut Problems
This paper investigates the complexity of the min-max and min-max regret versions of the s−t min cut and min cut problems. Even if the underlying problems are closely related and...
