In this paper, we propose a Robust Discriminant Analysis based on maximum entropy (MaxEnt) criterion (MaxEnt-RDA), which is derived from a nonparametric estimate of Renyi’s quadr...
Many optimization problems are naturally delivered in an uncertain framework, and one would like to exercise prudence against the uncertainty elements present in the problem. In pr...
We show that for even quasi-concave objective functions the worst-case distribution, with respect to a family of unimodal distributions, of a stochastic programming problem is a u...
Abstract. This paper concerns second-order analysis for a remarkable class of variational systems in finite-dimensional and infinite-dimensional spaces, which is particularly imp...
A common problem in most active contour methods is that the recursive searching scheme can only return a local optimal solution. Furthermore, the internal energy of the snake is n...
