Cheap or Flexible Sensor Coverage
We consider dual classes of geometric coverage problems, in which disks, corresponding to coverage regions of sensors, are used to cover a region or set of points in the plane. The...

Adaptive Wavelet Schemes for Parabolic Problems: Sparse Matrices and Numerical Results
A simultaneous space-time variational formulation of a parabolic evolution problem is solved with an adaptive wavelet method. This method is shown to converge with the best possibl...

Finding effectors in social networks
Assume a network (V, E) where a subset of the nodes in V are active. We consider the problem of selecting a set of k active nodes that best explain the observed activation state, ...

ORBIT: Optimization by Radial Basis Function Interpolation in Trust-Regions
Abstract. We present a new derivative-free algorithm, ORBIT, for unconstrained local optimization of computationally expensive functions. A trust-region framework using interpolati...

Global optimization for the synthesis of integrated water systems in chemical processes
In this paper, we address the problem of optimal synthesis of an integrated water system, where water using processes and water treatment operations are combined into a single net...
