The O.D.E. Method for Convergence of Stochastic Approximation and Reinforcement Learning
It is shown here that stability of the stochastic approximation algorithm is implied by the asymptotic stability of the origin for an associated ODE. This in turn implies convergen...

On Best-Effort Utility Accrual Real-Time Scheduling on Multiprocessors
We consider the problem of scheduling dependent real-time tasks for overloads on a multiprocessor system, yielding best-effort timing assurance. The application/scheduling model in...

Online Task Assignment in Crowdsourcing Markets
We explore the problem of assigning heterogeneous tasks to workers with different, unknown skill sets in crowdsourcing markets such as Amazon Mechanical Turk. We first formalize ...

Approximating Sparsest Cut in Graphs of Bounded Treewidth
We give the first constant-factor approximation algorithm for Sparsest-Cut with general demands in bounded treewidth graphs. In contrast to previous algorithms, which rely on the f...

Ant Colony Programming for Approximation Problems
Abstract. A method of automatic programming, called genetic programming, assumes that the desired program is found by using a genetic algorithm. We propose an idea of ant colony pr...
