: There are many challenges developers face when attempting to reliably extract data from the Web. One of these challenges is the resilience of the extraction system to changes in ...
We prove that if two smooth manifolds intersect transversally, then the method of alternating projections converges locally at a linear rate. We bound the speed of convergence in ...
Multistage stochastic programs have applications in many areas and support policy makers in finding rational decisions that hedge against unforeseen negative events. In order to en...
In this paper, we develop a method to count the number of spanning trees in certain classes of double fixed-step loop networks with nonconstant steps. More specifically our techni...
A method is proposed for finding the global minimum of a multivariate polynomial via sum of squares (SOS) relaxation over its gradient variety. That variety consists of all points ...
