We extend the well-known BFGS quasi-Newton method and its memory-limited variant LBFGS to the optimization of nonsmooth convex objectives. This is done in a rigorous fashion by ge...
Non-uniform memory architectures with cache coherence (ccNUMA) are becoming increasingly common, not just for large-scale high performance platforms but also in the context of mul...
This paper analytically explores the effect of software bundling on software piracy. We focus on piracy at individual user level where several individuals illegitimately share a s...
The yolk, defined by McKelvey as the smallest ball intersecting all median hyperplanes, is a key concept in the Euclidean spatial model of voting. Koehler conjectured that the yo...
— The concept of reversible conversion of color images to gray ones has been recently introduced. Colors are mapped to textures and from the textures the receiver can recover the...
