In this paper we propose a new integer programming formulation for the multilevel facility location problem and a novel 3-approximation algorithm based on LP rounding. The linear ...
The problem of approximating a given set of data points by splines composed of Pythagorean Hodograph (PH) curves is addressed. In order to solve this highly non-linear problem, we ...
Abstract-- This paper considers the problem of model reduction for controlled systems. The paper considers a dual/adjoint formulation of the general optimization problem to minimiz...
Monitoring plan preconditions can allow for replanning when a precondition fails, generally far in advance of the point in the plan where the precondition is relevant. However, mo...
The task of determining the approximate greatest common divisor (GCD) of more than two univariate polynomials with inexact coefficients can be formulated as computing for a given B...
