Asymptotic optimality in stochastic optimization [PDF]
We study local complexity measures for stochastic convex optimization problems, providing a local minimax theory analogous to that of Hájek and Le Cam for classical statistical problems. We give complementary optimality results, developing fully online methods that adaptively achieve optimal convergence guarantees. Our results provide function-specific

Asymptotic Optimality for Decentralised Bandits [PDF]
AbstractWe consider a large number of agents collaborating on a multi-armed bandit problem with a large number of arms. The goal is to minimise the regret of each agent in a communication-constrained setting. We present a decentralised algorithm which builds upon and improves the Gossip-Insert-Eliminate method of Chawla et al. (International conference

Revisiting the Asymptotic Optimality of RRT [PDF]
RRT* is one of the most widely used sampling-based algorithms for asymptotically-optimal motion planning. This algorithm laid the foundations for optimality in motion planning as a whole, and inspired the development of numerous new algorithms in the field, many of which build upon RRT* itself.

On Thompson Sampling and Asymptotic Optimality [PDF]
We discuss some recent results on Thompson sampling for nonparametric reinforcement learning in countable classes of general stochastic environments. These environments can be non-Markovian, non-ergodic, and partially observable. We show that Thompson sampling learns the environment class in the sense that (1) asymptotically its value converges in ...

Asymptotic optimality of twist-untwist protocols for Heisenberg scaling in atom-based sensing
Twist-untwist protocols for quantum metrology consist of a serial application of (1) unitary nonlinear dynamics (e.g., spin squeezing or Kerr nonlinearity), (2) parameterized dynamics U(ϕ) (e.g., a collective rotation or phase space displacement), and (3)

Two New Classes of Codebooks Asymptotically Achieving the Welch Bound
Exponential sums over Galois rings have many applications in coding theory, cryptography and algebraic combinatorics. In this article, we employ additive characters and multiplicative characters over Galois rings to present two classes of codebooks, and ...

Asymptotic optimality of sequential designs for estimation
This paper is concerned with the problem of allocating a fixed number of trials between K independent populations from the exponential family, in order to estimate a linear combination of the means with squared error loss.

Asymptotically Optimal Covering Designs
A (v,k,t) covering design, or covering, is a family of k-subsets, called blocks, chosen from a v-set, such that each t-subset is contained in at least one of the blocks. The number of blocks is the covering's size}, and the minimum size of such a covering is denoted by C(v,k,t).
