Abstract-- The problem of finding the eigenvector corresponding to the largest eigenvalue of a stochastic matrix has numerous applications in ranking search results, multi-agent co...
We propose an SQP-type algorithm for solving nonlinear second-order cone programming (NSOCP) problems. At every iteration, the algorithm solves a convex SOCP subproblem in which th...
It is well known from queueing and simulation models that cycle times in capacitated production systems increase nonlinearly with resource utilization, which poses considerable di...
Existing work on programmable self assembly has focused on deterministic performance guarantees--stability of desirable states. In particular, for any acyclic target graph a binary...
This work shows asymptotic convergence to global optima for a family of dynamically scaled genetic programming systems where the underlying population consists of a fixed number o...
