Abstract. In this paper, we present a constraint-partitioning approach for finding local optimal solutions of large-scale mixed-integer nonlinear programming problems (MINLPs). Ba...
In this paper, we address the problem of optimal synthesis of an integrated water system, where water using processes and water treatment operations are combined into a single net...
The optimization problems occurring in nonlinear regression normally cannot be proven unimodal. In the present paper applicability of global optimization algorithms to this problem...
Convexity is an important property in nonlinear optimization since it allows to apply efficient local methods for finding global solutions. We propose to apply symbolic methods t...
Recently, nonlinear shape models have been shown to improve the robustness and flexibility of segmentation. In this paper, we propose Shape Regularized Active Contour (ShRAC) that...
