Wepropose a method called Selection by Performance Prediction (SPP) which allows one, when faced with a particular problem instance, to select a Branch and Boundalgorithm from amo...
State encoding is one of the most difficult problems in the synthesis of asynchronous controllers. This paper presents a method that can solve the problem of large controllers spec...
The aim of the paper is to provide a theoretical basis for approximate reduced SQP methods. In contrast to inexact reduced SQP methods, the forward and the adjoint problem accuraci...

We present an anytime algorithm which computes policies for decision problems represented as multi-stage influence diagrams. Our algorithm constructs policies incrementally, start...
We study the integration of functions with respect to an unknown density. Information is available as oracle calls to the integrand and to the nonnormalized density function. We ar...
