We consider two new formulations for classification problems in the spirit of support vector machines based on robust optimization. Our formulations are designed to build in prote...
The criterion of total weighted completion time occurs as a sub-problem of combinatorial optimization problems in such diverse areas as scheduling, container loading and storage a...
We consider the problem of Adverse Selection and optimal derivative design within a Principal-Agent framework. The principal’s income is exposed to non-hedgeable risk factors ar...
The blind source separation (BSS) problem is often solved by maximizing objective functions reflecting the statistical independence between outputs. Since global maximization may...
This paper addresses fault-tolerant topology control in a heterogeneous wireless sensor network consisting of several resource-rich supernodes, used for data relaying, and a large...
