Software Dependencies No The paper does not specify any software dependencies with version numbers (e.g., programming languages, libraries, or specific solvers).
Experiment Setup Yes We use maxing algorithms to find 0.05-maximum with error probability δ = 0.1. Note that i = 1 is the unique 0.05-maximum under this model. In Figure 1, we compare the performance of SEQ-ELIMINATE and OPT-MAXIMIZE over different ranges of n. Figures 1(a), 1(b) show that for small n i.e., n 1300 SEQ-ELIMINATE performs well and for large n i.e., n 1300, OPT-MAXIMIZE performs well. Since we are using δ = 0.1, the experiment suggests that for δ 1 n1 3 , OPT-MAXIMIZE uses fewer comparisons as compared to SEQ-ELIMINATE. In further experiments, we use δ = 0.1 and n < 1000 so we use SEQ-ELIMINATE for better performance.
