This paper shows that shared coin algorithms can be combined to optimize several complexity measures, even in the presence of a strong adversary. By combining shared coins of Brac...
An interesting property of the Voronoi tessellation is studied in the context of its application to the analysis of hydration shells in computer simulation of solutions. Namely the...

The covariance matrix adaptation evolution strategy (CMAES) has proven to be a powerful method for reinforcement learning (RL). Recently, the CMA-ES has been augmented with an ada...
: We extend Goldie's (1991) Implicit Renewal Theorem to enable the analysis of recursions on weighted branching trees. We illustrate the developed method by deriving the power...
