Image retrieval based on content from digital libraries, multimedia databases, the Internet, and other sources has been an important problem addressed by several researchers. In t...
Abstract. This paper offers a critique of the framework of Constraint Satisfaction Problems. While this framework has been successful in studying search techniques, and has inspire...
In this paper, we propose new dominance relations that can speed up significantly the solution process of nonlinear constrained dynamic optimization problems in discrete time and...
The explosive growth of multimedia data poses serious challenges to data storage, management and search. Efficient near-duplicate detection is one of the required technologies for...
In this paper we present a Lagrange-multiplier formulation of discrete constrained optimization problems, the associated discrete-space first-order necessary and sufficient condit...
