This note conjectures that if two surface patches intersect with G1 continuity along an entire curve, the probability is one that the curve is rational. This idea has significance...
This paper presents a neural network approach with successful implementation for the robot task-sequencing problem. The problem addresses the sequencing of tasks comprising loadin...
In this paper, we propose two new support vector approaches for ordinal regression, which optimize multiple thresholds to define parallel discriminant hyperplanes for the ordinal ...
We introduce the notion of a stable instance for a discrete optimization problem, and argue that in many practical situations only sufficiently stable instances are of interest. T...
In this paper, we consider the design of a policy-based routing system and the role that link state might play. Looking at the problem from a link-state perspective, we propose Ce...
