A Faster, Better Approximation Algorithm for the Minimum Latency Problem
We give a 7.18-approximation algorithm for the minimum latency problem that uses only O(n log n) calls to the prize-collecting Steiner tree (PCST) subroutine of Goemans and Willia...

Biased Random Walks
How much can an imperfect source of randomness affect an algorithm? We examine several simple questions of this type concerning the long-term behavior of a random walk on a finite...

Reformulation and sampling to solve a stochastic network interdiction problem
The Network Interdiction Problem involves interrupting an adversary's ability to maximize flow through a capacitated network by destroying portions of the network. A budget c...

Information, Utility and Bounded Rationality
Abstract. Perfectly rational decision-makers maximize expected utility, but crucially ignore the resource costs incurred when determining optimal actions. Here we employ an axiomat...

Sequential Decision Making with Rank Dependent Utility: A Minimax Regret Approach
This paper is devoted to sequential decision making with Rank Dependent expected Utility (RDU). This decision criterion generalizes Expected Utility and enables to model a wider r...
