UOBYQA is a new algorithm for general unconstrained optimization calculations, that takes account of the curvature of the objective function, F say, by forming quadratic models by ...
Finding the largest independent set in a graph is a notoriously difficult NP-complete combinatorial optimization problem. Moreover, even for graphs with largest degree 3, no polyn...
This paper analyses the Contrastive Divergence algorithm for learning statistical parameters. We relate the algorithm to the stochastic approximation literature. This enables us t...
We present a polynomial time approximation algorithm for unit time precedence constrained scheduling. Our algorithm guarantees schedules which are at most 2 - 7 3p+1 factor as lon...
We describe a new method for surface reconstruction based on unorganized point clouds without normals. We also present a new algorithm for refining the inital triangulation. The o...
