We study in this paper the following sequential decision procedure. First, the members of a group show their opinions on all the members, regarding a specific attribute. Taking i...
This paper studies the optimization of observation channels (stochastic kernels) in partially observed stochastic control problems. In particular, existence, continuity, and convex...
Motivated by questions in stability theory for hybrid dynamical systems, we establish some fundamental properties of the set of solutions to such systems. Using the notion of a hy...
Algorithms for discrete energy minimization are of fundamental importance in computer vision. In this paper we focus on the recent technique proposed by Wainwright et al. [33] - t...
In the extension of Newton’s method to generalized equations, applying to variational inequalities as a special case, convergence analysis relates to a corresponding implicit fun...
