Enumeration-based approach to solving parametric linear complementarity problems

Colin Neil Jones

This paper presents a solution method for parametric linear complementarity problems (PLCP) that relies on an enumeration technique to discover all feasible bases. The enumeration procedure is based on evaluating all possible combinations of active constra ...

Control of Interbank Contagion Under Partial Information

Léo Hamed Amini

We consider a stylized core-periphery financial network in which links lead to the creation of projects in the outside economy but make banks prone to contagion risk. The controller seeks to maximize, under budget constraints, the value of the financial sy ...

A Universal Primal-Dual Convex Optimization Framework

Volkan Cevher, Quoc Tran Dinh, Alp Yurtsever

We propose a new primal-dual algorithmic framework for a prototypical con- strained convex optimization template. The algorithmic instances of our frame- work are universal since they can automatically adapt to the unknown Ho ̈lder con- tinuity properties ...

Interdiction Games on Markovian PERT Networks

Daniel Kuhn, Wolfram Wiesemann, Eli Gutin

In a stochastic interdiction game a proliferator aims to minimize the expected duration of a nuclear weapons development project, and an interdictor endeavors to maximize the project duration by delaying some of the project tasks. We formulate static and d ...

Efficient Subnetwork Selection in Relay Networks

Christina Fragouli, Siddhartha Brahma, Ayan Sengupta

We consider a source that would like to communicate with a destination over a layered Gaussian relay network. We present a computationally efficient method that enables to select a near-optimal (in terms of throughput) subnetwork of a given size connecting ...

LP-Based Algorithms for Capacitated Facility Location

Ola Nils Anders Svensson, Hyung Chan An

Linear programming has played a key role in the study of algorithms for combinatorial optimization problems. In the field of approximation algorithms, this is well illustrated by the uncapacitated facility location problem. A variety of algorithmic methodo ...

Splitting methods in control

Colin Neil Jones, Ye Pu, Georgios Stathopoulos, Alexander Szücs

The need for optimal control of processes under a restricted amount of resources renders first order optimization methods a viable option. Although computationally cheap, these methods typically suffer from slow convergence rates. In this work we discuss t ...

Learning search polices from humans in a partially observable context

Aude Billard, Guillaume Pierre Luc De Chambrier

Decision making and planning for which the state information is only partially available is a problem faced by all forms of intelligent entities they being either virtual, synthetic or biological. The standard approach to mathematically solve such a decisi ...

Approximate dynamic programming via sum of squares programming

Maryam Kamgarpour, Tyler Summers

We describe an approximate dynamic programming method for stochastic control problems on infinite state and input spaces. The optimal value function is approximated by a linear combination of basis functions with coefficients as decision variables. By rela ...
