New interval methods for constrained global optimization
Abstract. Interval analysis is a powerful tool which allows to design branch-and-bound algorithms able to solve many global optimization problems. In this paper we present new adap...

Uninitialized, Globally Optimal, Graph-Based Rectilinear Shape Segmentation The Opposing Metrics Method
We present a new approach for the incorporation of shape information into a segmentation algorithm. Unlike previous approaches to the problem, our method requires no initializatio...

Convex Programming Methods for Global Optimization
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...

Global Likelihood Optimization Via the Cross-Entropy Method, with an Application to Mixture Models
Global likelihood maximization is an important aspect of many statistical analyses. Often the likelihood function is highly multi-extremal. This presents a significant challenge t...

Average Performance of Quasi Monte Carlo Methods for Global Optimization
In this paper we compare the average performance of one class of low-discrepancy quasi-Monte Carlo sequences for global optimization. Weiner measure is assumed as the probability ...
