Abstract. In this paper, five previous Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithms for multimodal function optimization are reviewed. A new and a successful PSO based algorithm, n...
Abstract. We propose a new solution method for optimal stopping problems with random discounting for linear diffusions whose state space has a combination of natural, absorbing, or...
: We propose a simple and fast two-level minimization algorithm for completely specified functions in this paper. The algorithm is based on processing ternary trees. A ternary tree...
A new cascade basis reduction method of computing the optimal least-squares set of basis functions to steer a given function locally is presented. The method combines the Lie grou...
This paper investigates some modular powering functions suitable for cryptography. It is well known that the Rabin encryption function is a 4-to-1 mapping and breaking its one-wayn...
