Analysis of Generalized Pattern Searches
This paper contains a new convergence analysis for the Lewis and Torczon generalized pattern search (GPS) class of methods for unconstrained and linearly constrained optimization. ...

Distributed Constrained Optimization with Semicoordinate Transformations
Recent work has shown how information theory extends conventional full-rationality game theory to allow bounded rational agents. The associated mathematical framework can be used ...

Inverse Optimal Control with Linearly-Solvable MDPs
We present new algorithms for inverse optimal control (or inverse reinforcement learning, IRL) within the framework of linearlysolvable MDPs (LMDPs). Unlike most prior IRL algorit...

Nonlinear rescaling vs. smoothing technique in convex optimization
We introduce an alternative to the smoothing technique approach for constrained optimization. As it turns out for any given smoothing function there exists a modification with part...

Active Mean Fields: Solving the Mean Field Approximation in the Level Set Framework
Abstract. We describe a new approach for estimating the posterior probability of tissue labels. Conventional likelihood models are combined with a curve length prior on boundaries,...
