Gradient-based numerical optimization of complex engineering designs offers the promise of rapidly producing better designs. However, such methods generally assume that the object...
In this paper parallel universes are defined by their relation to multi-criteria optimization combined with an explicit or implicit link for the unambiguous identification of an ...
We present an approximation scheme for optimizing certain Quadratic Integer Programming problems with positive semidefinite objective functions and global linear constraints. Thi...
