The affine rank minimization problem consists of finding a matrix of minimum rank that satisfies a given system of linear equality constraints. Such problems have appeared in the ...
We consider combinatorial optimization problems arising in radiation therapy. Given a matrix I with non-negative integer entries, we seek for a decomposition of I as a weighted su...
As a simple XML query language but with enough expressive power, XPath has become very popular. To expedite evaluation of XPath queries, we consider the problem of rewriting XPath...
A fundamental problem in computer vision (CV) is the estimation of geometric parameters from multiple observations obtained from images; examples of such problems range from ellip...
Simulated annealing has been one of the most popular stochastic optimization methods used in the VLSI CAD field in the past two decades for handling NP-hard optimization problems...
