Approximation Algorithms for Partial-Information Based Stochastic Control with Markovian Rewards
We consider a variant of the classic multi-armed bandit problem (MAB), which we call FEEDBACK MAB, where the reward obtained by playing each of n independent arms varies according...

Sub-optimality Approximations
Abstract. The sub-optimality approximation problem considers an optimization problem O, its optimal solution σ∗ , and a variable x with domain {d1, . . . , dm} and returns appro...

Approximation algorithms for stochastic orienteering
In the Stochastic Orienteering problem, we are given a metric, where each node also has a job located there with some deterministic reward and a random size. (Think of the jobs as...

Convergence of stochastic search algorithms to gap-free pareto front approximations
Recently, a convergence proof of stochastic search algorithms toward finite size Pareto set approximations of continuous multi-objective optimization problems has been given. The...
