Abstract--We establish that the min-sum messagepassing algorithm and its asynchronous variants converge for a large class of unconstrained convex optimization problems, generalizin...
Background: Many algorithms exist for protein structural alignment, based on internal protein coordinates or on explicit superposition of the structures. These methods are usually...
Abstract—Existing work on cross-layer optimization for wireless networks adopts simple physical-layer models, i.e., treating interference as noise. In this paper, we adopt a dete...
The decomposition method is currently one of the major methods for solving the convex quadratic optimization problems being associated with support vector machines. For a special c...
Primal-dual Interior-Point Methods (IPMs) have shown their ability in solving large classes of optimization problems efficiently. Feasible IPMs require a strictly feasible startin...
