Robust Estimation of Curvature along Digital Contours with Global Optimization
In this paper we introduce a new curvature estimator based on global optimisation. This method called Global Min-Curvature exploits the geometric properties of digital contours by ...

Smooth SQP Methods for Mathematical Programs with Nonlinear Complementarity Constraints
Mathematical programs with nonlinear complementarity constraints are reformulated using better-posed but nonsmooth constraints. We introduce a class of functions, parameterized by...

An Active-Set Newton Method for Mathematical Programs with Complementarity Constraints
For a mathematical program with complementarity constraints (MPCC), we propose an active-set Newton method, which has the property of local quadratic convergence under the MPCC lin...

Stochastic Finite Element Framework for Cardiac Kinematics Function and Material Property Analysis
Abstract. A stochastic finite element method (SFEM) based framework is proposed for the simultaneous estimation of cardiac kinematics functions and material model parameters. While...

Adaptive Overrelaxed Bound Optimization Methods
We study a class of overrelaxed bound optimization algorithms, and their relationship to standard bound optimizers, such as ExpectationMaximization, Iterative Scaling, CCCP and No...
