We present a method for designing operational amplifiers using reversed geometric programming, which is an extension of geometric programming that allows both convex and non-conve...
—We study two convex optimization problems in a multi-class M/G/1 queue with adjustable service rates: minimizing convex functions of the average delay vector, and minimizing ave...
— Simulated Evolution (SimE) is a sound stochastic approximation algorithm based on the principles of adaptation. If properly engineered it is possible for SimE to reach nearopti...
Existing contact modeling in rigid body simulation is inadequate for robotics: no algorithms guarantee both convergence and nonpenetration at multiple contact points in the presen...
The performance of Kriging interpolation for enhancement, smoothing, reconstruction and optimization of a test data set is investigated. Specifically, the ordinary twodimensional ...
