We study a new class of decentralized algorithms for discrete optimization via simulation, which is inspired by the fictitious play algorithm applied to games with identical inte...
Abstract. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in addressing dynamic optimization problems (DOPs) using evolutionary algorithms (EAs). Several approaches have been de...
Frequently, the computation of derivatives for optimizing time-dependent problems is based on the integration of the adjoint differential equation. For this purpose, the knowledge...
A new efficient MRF optimization algorithm, called FastPD, is proposed, which generalizes -expansion. One of its main advantages is that it offers a substantial speedup over that ...
This paper introduces a linear programming (LP) technique that performs ratedistortion based optimization for constrained video coding. Given the assumption of piecewise linear an...
