We give an upper bound in O(d(n+1)/2 ) for the number of critical points of a normal random polynomial. The number of minima (resp. maxima) is in O(d(n+1)/2 )Pn, where Pn is the (...
The Multidimensional Assignment Problem (MAP) is an NP-hard combinatorial optimization problem occurring in many applications, such as data association, target tracking, and resou...

: A local search algorithm operating on an instance of a Boolean constraint satisfaction problem (in particular, k-SAT) can be viewed as a stochastic process traversing successive ...
Polygon spaces like Mℓ = {(u1, · · · , un) ∈ S1 × · · · S1 ; n i=1 liui = 0}/SO(2) or they three dimensional analogues Nℓ play an important rle in geometry and topolo...
Motivated by the slow learning properties of multilayer perceptrons (MLPs) which utilize computationally intensive training algorithms, such as the backpropagation learning algorit...
