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...
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...
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...

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...
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...
