A new framework is presented for both understanding and developing graph-cut based combinatorial algorithms suitable for the approximate optimization of a very wide class of MRFs ...
We consider the problem of maximizing the reliability of a series-parallel system given cost and weight constraints on the system. The number of components in each subsystem and th...
The problem of reconstructing finite subsets of the integer lattice from X-rays has been studied in discrete mathematics and applied in several fields like image processing, data...
ABSTRACT. We present an extension of the Delsarte linear programming method for spherical codes. For several dimensions it yields improved upper bounds including some new bounds on...
We present a branch-and-bound algorithm for minimizing a convex quadratic objective function over integer variables subject to convex constraints. In a given node of the enumerati...
