— Quasirandom or low discrepancy sequences, such as the Van der Corput, Sobol, Faure, Halton (named after their inventors) etc. are less random than a pseudorandom number sequenc...
We present new techniques for explicit constraint satisfaction in the incremental placement process. Our algorithm employs a Lagrangian Relaxation (LR) type approach in the analyt...
Probabilistic models have recently been utilized for the optimization of large combinatorial search problems. However, complex probabilistic models that attempt to capture interpa...
—In this paper, we introduce a novel method to solve shape alignment problems. We use gray-scale “images” to represent source shapes, and propose a novel two-component Gaussi...
— Since Witsenhausen put forward his remarkable counterexample in 1968, there have been many attempts to develop efficient methods for solving this non-convex functional optimiz...
