: We propose a simple and fast two-level minimization algorithm for completely specified functions in this paper. The algorithm is based on processing ternary trees. A ternary tree...
This paper discusses the global minimization of rational functions with or without constraints. We studied the sum of squares (SOS) relaxations and their properties to solve this ...
In the last few years, several new algorithms based on graph cuts have been developed to solve energy minimization problems in computer vision. Each of these techniques constructs...
The Newton Bracketing method [9] for the minimization of convex functions f : Rn R is extended to affinely constrained convex minimization problems. The results are illustrated for...
In some cases, minimum Sum-Of-Products (SOP) expressions of Boolean functions can be derived by detecting decomposition and observing the functional properties such as unateness, ...
