We derive an easy-to-compute approximate bound for the range of step-sizes for which the constant-modulus algorithm (CMA) will remain stable if initialized close to a minimum of t...
The terminal Steiner tree problem (TST) consists of finding a minimum cost Steiner tree where each terminal is a leaf. We describe a factor 2ρ−ρ/(3ρ−2) approximation algor...
The maximisation of information transmission over noisy channels is a common, albeit generally computationally difficult problem. We approach the difficulty of computing the mutua...
The closest substring problem, where a short string is sought that minimizes the number of mismatches between it and each of a given set of strings, is a minimization problem with ...
The stochastic approximation method is behind the solution to many important, actively-studied problems in machine learning. Despite its farreaching application, there is almost n...
