Convex Programming Methods for Global Optimization
We investigate some approaches to solving nonconvex global optimization problems by convex nonlinear programming methods. We assume that the problem becomes convex when selected va...

Heuristic Refinements of Approximate Linear Programming for Factored Continuous-State Markov Decision Processes
Approximate linear programming (ALP) offers a promising framework for solving large factored Markov decision processes (MDPs) with both discrete and continuous states. Successful ...

An optimal generalization of the centerpoint theorem, and its extensions
We prove an optimal generalization of the centerpoint theorem: given a set P of n points in the plane, there exist two points (not necessarily among input points) that hit all con...

Distance Computation between Non-Convex Polyhedra at Short Range Based on Discrete Voronoi Regions
An algorithm for calculating the minimum distance between non-convex polyhedra is described. A polyhedron is represented by a set of triangles. In calculating the distance between...
