This work focuses on the basic stochastic decomposition (SD) algorithm of Higle and Sen [J.L. Higle, S. Sen, Stochastic Decomposition, Kluwer Academic Publishers, 1996] for two-st...
For two naturals m, n such that m < n, we show how to construct a circuit C with m inputs and n outputs, that has the following property: for some 0 ≤ k ≤ m, the circuit deï...
We consider repairable reliability systems with m components, the lifetimes and repair times of which are independent. The l-th component can be either in the failure state 0 or i...
Proper scoring rules, particularly when used as the basis for a prediction market, are powerful tools for eliciting and aggregating beliefs about events such as the likely outcome...
During the last years, the use of string kernels that compare documents has been shown to achieve good results on text classification problems. In this paper we introduce the appl...
