Abstract-- In this paper, we are interested in using largedeviations theory to characterize the asymptotic decay-rate of the queue-overflow probability for distributed wireless sch...
We propose an adaptive decomposition algorithm to compute separation distances between arbitrarily shaped objects. Using the Gilbert-JohnsonKeerthi algorithm (GJK), we search for ...
Real-time dynamic programming (RTDP) is a heuristic search algorithm for solving MDPs. We present a modified algorithm called Focused RTDP with several improvements. While RTDP ma...
We study the intrinsic difficulty of solving linear parabolic initial value problems numerically at a single point. We present a worst case analysis for deterministic as well as fo...
We study two-layer belief networks of binary random variables in which the conditional probabilities Pr childjparents depend monotonically on weighted sums of the parents. In larg...
