Abstract. Censored quantile regressions (CQR) are a valuable tool in economics and engineering. The computation of estimators is highly complex and the performance of standard meth...
Differential evolution (DE) has emerged as one of the fast, robust, and efficient global search heuristics of current interest. This paper describes an application of DE to the aut...
A model of honey bee social foraging is introduced to create an algorithm that solves a class of optimal resource allocation problems. We prove that if several such algorithms (&q...
Recent work on geometric vision problems has exploited convexity properties in order to obtain globally optimal solutions. In this paper we give an overview of these developments a...
Iterative decoding is considered in this paper from an optimization point of view. Starting from the optimal maximum likelihood decoding, a (tractable) approximate criterion is de...
