This paper discusses how to find the global minimum of functions that are summations of small polynomials ("small" means involving a small number of variables). Some spa...
In this paper, we present a method of rectilinear block packing using selected sequence-pair (SSP), a rectangle packing representation. We also propose a fast algorithm to obtain ...
We consider sequential regression of individual sequences under the square error loss. Using a competitive algorithm framework, we construct a sequential algorithm that can achieve...
Abstract--In the design of distributed quantization systems one inevitably confronts two types of constraints--those imposed by a distributed system's structure and those impo...
We present a system, ESOLID, that performs exact boundary evaluation of low-degree curved solids in reasonable amounts of time. ESOLID performs accurate Boolean operations using e...
