We prove that the hit-and-run random walk is rapidly mixing for an arbitrary logconcave distribution starting from any point in the support. This extends the work of [26], where t...
Abstract Parallel algorithms for the approximation of a multi-dimensional integral over an hyper-rectangular region are discussed. Algorithms based on quasi-Monte Carlo techniques ...
The facility design problem is a common one in manufacturing and service industries and has been studied extensively in the literature. However, restrictions on the scope of the de...

Minimizing the amount of time and number of processors needed to perform an application reduces the application's fabrication cost and operation costs. A directed acyclic gra...
While support vector machines (SVMs) have shown great promise in supervised classification problems, researchers have had to rely on expert domain knowledge when choosing the SVM&...
