In this paper, we present the partitioning of mutual-exclusion (mutex) constraints in temporal planning problems and its implementation in the SGPlan4 planner. Based on the strong...
In a recent paper, Savas, Batta and Nagi [14] consider the optimal placement of a finite-sized facility in the presence of arbitrarily-shaped barriers under rectilinear travel. T...
Monte Carlo methods have been used extensively in the area of stochastic programming. As with other methods that involve a level of uncertainty, theoretical properties are required...
The blind source separation (BSS) problem is often solved by maximizing objective functions reflecting the statistical independence between outputs. Since global maximization may...
In this paper we present a method of parameter optimization, relative trust-region learning, where the trust-region method and the relative optimization [21] are jointly exploited...
