Abstract. In practical applications evaluating a fitness function is frequently subject to noise, i. e., the “true fitness” is disturbed by some random variations. Evolutiona...
Clustering is a fundamental task in Spatial Data Mining where data consists of observations for a site (e.g. areal units) descriptive of one or more (spatial) primary units, possib...

Using variational analysis techniques, we study convex-composite optimization problems. In connection with such a problem, we introduce several new notions as variances of the clas...
We propose an active set algorithm to solve the convex quadratic programming (QP) problem which is the core of the support vector machine (SVM) training. The underlying method is ...
Exotic semirings such as the “(max, +) semiring” (R ∪ {−∞}, max, +), or the “tropical semiring” (N ∪ {+∞}, min, +), have been invented and reinvented many times s...
