Guard placement for efficient point-in-polygon proofs
We consider the problem of placing a small number of angle guards inside a simple polygon P so as to provide efficient proofs that any given point is inside P. Each angle guard vi...

A Utile Function Optimizer
Abstract— We recast the problem of unconstrained continuous evolutionary optimization as inference in a fixed graphical model. This approach allows us to address several pervasi...

Multi-criteria p-cycle network design
—The major challenge of p-cycle network design resides in finding an optimal set of p-cycles protecting the network for a given working capacity. Existing solutions (exact and h...
