One of the purposes of Systems Biology is the quantitative modeling of biochemical networks. In this effort, the use of dynamical mathematical models provides for powerful tools in...
Abstract-- In robot deployment problems, the fundamental issue is to optimize a steady state performance measure that depends on the spatial configuration of a group of robots. For...
The convergence rate is analyzed for the sparse reconstruction by separable approximation (SpaRSA) algorithm for minimizing a sum f(x) + ψ(x), where f is smooth and ψ is convex, ...
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...
We consider the problem of fitting a discrete curve to time-labeled data points on the set Pn of all n-by-n symmetric positive-definite matrices. The quality of a curve is measu...
