Function-Approximation-Based Importance Sampling for Pricing American Options
Monte Carlo simulation techniques that use function approximations have been successfully applied to approximately price multi-dimensional American options. However, for many pric...

Approximating Single Machine Scheduling with Scenarios
In the field of robust optimization, the goal is to provide solutions to combinatorial problems that hedge against variations of the numerical parameters. This constitutes an effor...

On the Complexity of Parabolic Initial Value Problems with Variable Drift
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...

On the Hardness and Smoothed Complexity of Quasi-Concave Minimization
In this paper, we resolve the smoothed and approximative complexity of low-rank quasi-concave minimization, providing both upper and lower bounds. As an upper bound, we provide th...
