Heuristic functions make MDP solvers practical by reducing their time and memory requirements. Some of the most effective heuristics (e.g., the FF heuristic function) first determ...
This paper presents a general method to derive tight rates of convergence for numerical approximations in optimal control when we consider variable resolution grids. We study the ...
We prove and extend a conjecture of Kempe, Kleinberg, and Tardos (KKT) on the spread of influence in social networks. A social network can be represented by a directed graph where...
Iterated Runge-Kutta (IRK) methods are a class of explicit solution methods for initial value problems of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) which possess a considerable poten...
The line-based face recognition method is distinguished by its features, but its development and application is limited to some inherent drawbacks. This paper propose a method for...
