We introduce the Concave-Convex procedure (CCCP) which constructs discrete time iterative dynamical systems which are guaranteed to monotonically decrease global optimization/ener...
This paper considers vehicle routing problems (VRP) where customer locations and service times are random variables that are realized dynamically during plan execution. It propose...
In many applications surfaces containing a large number of primitives occur. Geometry compression reduces storage space and transmission time for such models. A special case is gi...
The spine of an object is an entity that can characterise the object’s topology and describes the object by a lower dimension. It has an intuitive appeal for supporting geometric...
In a standard genetic algorithm (GA), individuals reproduce asexually: any two organisms may be parents in crossover. Gender separation and sexual selection here inspire a model o...
