Convex Computation of Value-at-risk Bounds for Stochastic Processes

This article formulates algorithms to upper-bound the maximum value-at-risk (VaR) of a state function along trajectories of stochastic processes. The VaR is upper bounded by two methods: minimax tail-bounds (Cantelli/Vysochanskij-Petunin) and Expected Shor ...

A ride time-oriented scheduling algorithm for dial-a-ride problems

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Claudia Bongiovanni, Mor Kaspi

This paper offers a new algorithm to efficiently optimize scheduling decisions for dial-a-ride problems (DARPs), including problem variants considering electric and autonomous vehicles (e-ADARPs). The scheduling heuristic, based on linear programming theor ...

Improving SAM Requires Rethinking its Optimization Formulation

Volkan Cevher, Kimon Antonakopoulos, Fabian Ricardo Latorre Gomez, Thomas Michaelsen Pethick, Wanyun Xie

This paper rethinks Sharpness-Aware Minimization (SAM), which is originally formulated as a zero-sum game where the weights of a network and a bounded perturbation try to minimize/maximize, respectively, the same differentiable loss. We argue that SAM shou ...

Learning-Augmented Dynamic Power Management with Multiple States via New Ski Rental Bounds

Adam Teodor Polak, Marek Elias

We study the online problem of minimizing power consumption in systems with multiple power-saving states. During idle periods of unknown lengths, an algorithm has to choose between power-saving states of different energy consumption and wake-up costs. We d ...

Robust Learning-Augmented Caching: An Experimental Study

Adam Teodor Polak

Effective caching is crucial for performance of modern-day computing systems. A key optimization problem arising in caching – which item to evict to make room for a new item – cannot be optimally solved without knowing the future. There are many classical ...

A (2+epsilon)-Approximation Algorithm for Preemptive Weighted Flow Time on a Single Machine

Lars Rohwedder

Weighted flow time is a fundamental and very well-studied objective function in scheduling. In this paper, we study the setting of a single machine with preemptions. ...

Proximity Results and Faster Algorithms for Integer Programming Using the Steinitz Lemma

Friedrich Eisenbrand

We consider integer programming problems in standard form max{c(T)x : Ax = b, x >= 0, x is an element of Z(n)} where A is an element of Z(mxn), b is an element of Z(m), and c is an element of Z(n). We show that such an integer program can be solved in time ...

An adaptive algorithm for the transport equation with time dependent velocity

Marco Picasso, Samuel Dubuis

An a posteriori error estimate is derived for the approximation of the transport equation with a time dependent transport velocity. Continuous, piecewise linear, anisotropic finite elements are used for space discretization, the Crank-Nicolson scheme schem ...

Fully dynamic bin packing revisited

Kim-Manuel Klein

We consider the fully dynamic bin packing problem, where items arrive and depart in an online fashion and repacking of previously packed items is allowed. The goal is, of course, to minimize both the number of bins used as well as the amount of repacking. ...

Graph fragmentation problem: analysis and synthesis

Manuel Francesco Aprile, Pablo Romero Gómez

Vulnerability metrics play a key role in the understanding of cascading failures and target/random attacks to a network. The graph fragmentation problem (GFP) is the result of a worst-case analysis of a random attack. We can choose a fixed number of indivi ...

Anytime Heuristic for Weighted Matching Through Altruism-Inspired Behavior

Boi Faltings, Aris Filos Ratsikas, Panayiotis Danassis

We present a novel anytime heuristic (ALMA), inspired by the human principle of altruism, for solving the assignment problem. ALMA is decentralized, completely uncoupled, and requires no communication between the participants. We prove an upper bound on th ...

A Polynomial Regularity Lemma For Semialgebraic Hypergraphs And Its Applications In Geometry And Property Testing

János Pach

In this paper, we prove several extremal results for geometrically defined hypergraphs. In particular, we establish an improved lower bound, single exponentially decreasing in k, on the best constant delta > 0 such that the vertex classes P-1,...,P-k of ev ...

The Inherent Cost of Remembering Consistently

Rachid Guerraoui, Mihail Igor Zablotchi, Nachshon Cohen

Non-volatile memory (NVM) promises fast, byte-addressable and durable storage, with raw access latencies in the same order of magnitude as DRAM. But in order to take advantage of the durability of NVM, programmers need to design persistent objects which ma ...

Collision-Free Pattern Formation

Rachid Guerraoui, Alexandre David Olivier Maurer

Shoals of small fishes can change their collective shape and form a specific pattern. They do so efficiently (in parallel) and without collision. In this paper, we study the analog problem of distributed pattern formation. A set of processes needs to move ...

Multidimensional linear attacks are one of the most powerful variants of linear cryptanalytic techniques now. However, there is no knowledge on the key-dependent capacity and data complexity so far. Their values were assumed to be close to the average valu ...

Boltzmann Transport in Nanostructures as a Friction Effect
