In many practical applications, the task is to optimize a non-linear objective function over the vertices of a well-studied polytope as, e.g., the matching polytope or the travelli...
In AI research, mechanism design is typically used to allocate tasks and resources to agents holding private information about their values for possible allocations. In this conte...

The NEWUOA which belongs to the class of DerivativeFree optimization algorithms is benchmarked on the BBOB2009 noisy testbed. A multistart strategy is applied with a maximum numbe...
A finite test set for an integer optimization problem enables us to verify whether a feasible point attains the global optimum. We establish in this paper several general results ...
Detecting low-level image features such as edges and ridges with spatial filters is improved if the scale of the features are known a priori. Scale-space representations and wavele...
