On Computing Functions with Uncertainty
Summary: Adaptive probing to compute f(x1..xn) when each xi is only known to lie in an interval and probes are costly; objective: minimize probe cost while guaranteeing f within specified precision for all realizations. Presents online, competitive (asymptotically optimal) algorithms for selection, aggregation (sum/avg) and their compositions under three precision models. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
