Abstract. In this paper we propose an optimal anytime version of constrained simulated annealing (CSA) for solving constrained nonlinear programming problems (NLPs). One of the goa...
PDE surfaces, whose behavior is governed by Partial Differential Equations (PDEs), have demonstrated many modeling advantages in surface blending, free-form surface modeling, and ...
Boolean notions of correctness are formalized by preorders on systems. Quantitative measures of correctness can be formalized by realvalued distance functions between systems, wher...
In the multi-armed bandit (MAB) problem there are k distributions associated with the rewards of playing each of k strategies (slot machine arms). The reward distributions are ini...
The problem of optimal transportation between a set of sources and a set of wells has become recently the object of new mathematical models generalizing the Monge-Kantorovich prob...
