By introducing redundant Klee-Minty examples, we have previously shown that the central path can be bent along the edges of the Klee-Minty cubes, thus having 2n - 2 sharp turns in...
In this paper we propose a novel finite-horizon, discrete-time, time-varying filtering method based on the robust semidefinite programming (SDP) technique. The proposed method prov...

The kernel function plays a central role in kernel methods. Most existing methods can only adapt the kernel parameters or the kernel matrix based on empirical data. Recently, Ong e...
Abstract. Image matting and segmentation are two closely related topics that concern extracting the foreground and background of an image. While the methods based on global optimiz...
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...
