Markov decision processes (MDPs) with discrete and continuous state and action components can be solved efficiently by hybrid approximate linear programming (HALP). The main idea ...
We consider the global optimization problem for d-variate Lipschitz functions which, in a certain sense, do not increase too slowly in a neighborhood of the global minimizer(s). O...
Abstract. With inspiration from the economic reality, where numbers are basic entities to work with, we propose a genuinely new kind of P systems, where numerical variables evolve,...
Scalar functions defined on a topological space Ω are at the core of many applications such as shape matching, visualization and physical simulations. Topological persistence i...
Binary morphological transformations based on the residues (ultimate erosion, skeleton by openings, etc.) are extended to functions by means of the transformation definition and o...
