Solving Markov Random Fields using Second Order Cone Programming Relaxations
This paper presents a generic method for solving Markov random fields (MRF) by formulating the problem of MAP estimation as 0-1 quadratic programming (QP). Though in general solvi...

On the Strong Convergence of Gradients in Stabilized Degenerate Convex Minimization Problems
Infimizing sequences in nonconvex variational problems typically exhibit enforced finer and finer oscillations called microstructures such that the infimal energy is not attained. ...

Minimizing the sum of many rational functions
We consider the problem of globally minimizing the sum of many rational functions over a given compact semialgebraic set. The number of terms can be large (10 to 100), the degree ...

Convex programming for scheduling unrelated parallel machines
We consider the classical problem of scheduling parallel unrelated machines. Each job is to be processed by exactly one machine. Processing job j on machine i requires time pij . ...

Efficient and accurate gate sizing with piecewise convex delay models
We present an efficient and accurate gate sizing tool that employs a novel piecewise convex delay model, handling both rise and fall delays, for static CMOS gates. The delay model...
