An evaporation mechanism for dynamic and noisy multimodal optimization
Dealing with imprecise information is a common characteristic in real-world problems. Specifically, when the source of the information are physical sensors, a level of noise in t...

Global Optimization for Alignment of Generalized Shapes
In this paper, we introduce a novel algorithm to solve global shape registration problems. We use gray-scale “images” to represent source shapes, and propose a novel twocompo...

Approximately Global Optimization for Robust Alignment of Generalized Shapes
—In this paper, we introduce a novel method to solve shape alignment problems. We use gray-scale “images” to represent source shapes, and propose a novel two-component Gaussi...
