In this paper, we propose a new approach that consists of the extended compact genetic algorithm (ECGA) and split-ondemand (SoD), an adaptive discretization technique, to economic...
Most data-mining techniques seek a single model that optimizes an objective function with respect to the data. In many real-world applications several models will equally optimize...
We introduce an alternative to the smoothing technique approach for constrained optimization. As it turns out for any given smoothing function there exists a modification with part...
In this paper, we propose a new shape decomposition method, called convex shape decomposition. We formalize the convex decomposition problem as an integer linear programming probl...
