This paper introduces a 2-D strain imaging technique based on minimizing a cost function using dynamic programming (DP). The cost function incorporates similarity of echo amplitude...
In the independent component analysis, polynomial functions of higher order statistics are often used as cost functions. However, such cost functions usually have many local minim...
In learning theory and genetic programming, OBDDs are used to represent approximations of Boolean functions. This motivates the investigation of the OBDD complexity of approximatin...
This paper describes the innovative use of a genetic algorithm to solve the grasp synthesis problem for multifingered robot hands. The goal of our algorithm is to select a `best...
We present a branch-and-bound algorithm for minimizing a convex quadratic objective function over integer variables subject to convex constraints. In a given node of the enumerati...
