Towards Procedures for Systematically Deriving Hybrid Models of Complex Systems
Abstract. In many cases, complex system behaviors are naturally modeled as nonlinear differential equations. However, these equations are often hard to analyze because of "sti...

Finding Supply Function Equilibria with Asymmetric Firms
Abstract Firms compete in supply functions when they offer a schedule of prices and quantities into a market; for example, this occurs in many wholesale electricity markets. We stu...

Interactive 3D distance field computation using linear factorization
We present an interactive algorithm to compute discretized 3D Euclidean distance fields. Given a set of piecewise linear geometric primitives, our algorithm computes the distance...

Minimum Risk Annealing for Training Log-Linear Models
When training the parameters for a natural language system, one would prefer to minimize 1-best loss (error) on an evaluation set. Since the error surface for many natural languag...

An interior-point piecewise linear penalty method for nonlinear programming
We present an interior-point penalty method for nonlinear programming (NLP), where the merit function consists of a piecewise linear penalty function (PLPF) and an 2-penalty functi...
