Given a primal-dual pair of linear programs, it is well known that if their optimal values are viewed as lying on the extended real line, then the duality gap is zero, unless both...
—This paper addresses the problem of dense disparity estimation from a pair of color stereo images. Based on a convex set theoretic formulation, the stereo matching problem is ca...
We investigate some approaches to solving nonconvex global optimization problems by convex nonlinear programming methods. We assume that the problem becomes convex when selected va...
The sequence-pair was proposed in 1994 as a representation of the packing of rectangles of general structure. Since then, there have been eorts to expand its applicability over s...
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...
