APPROXIMATION ALGORITHMS FOR A GENERALIZATION OF THE MAXIMUM BUDGET ALLOCATION

Optimal Budget Allocation for Sample Average Approximation

The sample average approximation approach to solving stochastic programs induces a sampling error, caused by replacing an expectation by a sample average, as well as an optimization error due to approximating the solution of the resulting sample average problem. We obtain estimators of an optimal solution and the optimal value of the original stochastic program after executing a finite number o...

Approximation Algorithms for Budget-Constrained Auctions

a generalization of strong causality

در این رساله t_n - علیت قوی تعریف می شود. این رده ها در جدول علیت فضا- زمان بین علیت پایدار و علیت قوی قرار دارند. یک قضیه برای رده بندی آنها ثابت می شود و t_n- علیت قوی با رده های علی کارتر مقایسه می شود. همچنین ثابت می شود که علیت فشرده پایدار از t_n - علیت قوی نتیجه می شود. بعلاوه به بررسی رابطه نظریه دامنه ها با نسبیت عام می پردازیم و ثابت می کنیم که نوع خاصی از فضا- زمان های علی پایدار, ب...

Approximation Algorithms for the Maximum Cut Problem

Consider the problem of keeping closely related objects together and seperating unrelated objects from each other. This idea has clear applications to statistics, computer science, mathematics, social studies, and natural sciences just to name a few. To model this idea, we de ne the maximum cut problem that is simple to state but di cult to solve. The aim of this report is to provide two known ...

investigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures

deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...
