Selection and negotiation of purchasing bids is a complex decision making process that requires consideration of a variety of vendor attributes such as price, delivery performance...
Partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs) provide an elegant mathematical framework for modeling complex decision and planning problems in stochastic domains in whic...

We discuss some problems of lattice tiling via Harmonic Analysis methods. We consider lattice tilings of Rd by the unit cube in relation to the Minkowski Conjecture (now a theorem...
